Project 2: Postal Presents (Pen Holder)


The postal presents project was given to create a flatpack that can be transformed from 2D to 3D object and sent through the mail in an ordinary C4 (229mm x 324mm) envelope. In response to a project aim, I have created a stylish curvy-shaped pen holder. I used many different types of materials for the experiment and found out an aluminium sheet was a proper material for my product. The concept of the product was aimed to design a pleasurable appearance, easy to assemble, and multi functional product.

This pen holder is a unique curvy-shape holder unlike any you have seen. It consists of 5 stripes attached to a flat sheet, so that you can just band each stripe and put it into each slot. It is very easy to assemble and can be done in one single step. This pen holder can be contained 9 pens with various sizes from pencil to marker and also provide a memo holder function for user convenience.

Your stylish curvy-shaped pen holder is very interesting, the organic shape is smooth and elegant. stores pencils and pens fine and is also able to be flat packed! very well done. Only problem i see is keeping the curves in the shape after a prolonged time. But aside from that it is a very well done object for postal gifting.
