Packaging / Container

THE ASSIGNMENT: Design a package or container that supports and further develops
 the ideas from the creation of the postcard and branding task for my Venetian glass necklace.

DESIGN INTENT: My objective in designing an appropriate container for my Venetian glass
necklace is threefold: (1) brand identity, (2) configuration of the container and (3) storage
requirements of the glass necklace. I'm approaching brand identity by attempting to
incorporate the jeweler's geographic origins which have everything to do with his glass
blowing craft and the simplicity and elegance of his product. The container itself should
provide protection for the necklace and be a reusable package to store the necklace
as well as a travel keepsake. Thus, it should have a flat profile to fit nicely into a suitcase.
Because the necklace is glass, it needs protection. It also needs to be stored in a circular
configuration so that the glass beads do not cut through the wire on which they are strung.



The next sketch model I will be constructing.

SKETCH MODELS: In the various sketch models below I have been exploring different geometric configurations of the bead shape as container shape. I will be continuing this until I reach the right
solution and size for the packaging.



Sketch models I have explored to date.
