Research: The design objective was finding a space-saving solution, with an extended life length for a broad usage area with food/non-food. The business motivation was adding value and creating an experience for HoReCa and end-customer. Initial interviews with stakeholders in HoReCa were performed to define problems. Project members visited fairs/events and performed online research to gather insights. Material evaluations and further interviews with stakeholders were performed regularly throughout the length of the project.
Inspiration: Inspired by the force of the Nordic nature. Flexibility to fit a variety of interior styles, occasions, and seasons, durability in time. Easy to clean, long-lasting materials with multi-usages for professional convenience in the HoReCa sector.
Mono materials, easy to separate, easy to recycle.

2 pieces of the Round steel container fit into the Oval container.
The oval container has a separate compartment inside.
Steel can be chilled in the freezer for cooling bottles or for serving food on the centerpiece.
Glass containers 1 and 2 can be used for tea lights, LED candles, or as containers for food or non-food.
