A "Cradle to Cradle" Crate

A Cradle to Cradle sustainable design Crate, made of two PP parts (red and white).

Solution

First size for 1liter 8 bottles
Second size is inspired by the traditional early 1900 wooden crate 48 bottle, 250 cc.

A �Cradle to Cradle� sustainable design Crate, made of two PP parts (red and white)
One of the challenges of recycle is in separating the different parts, including its own many variations, once it arrives at the waste station and beyond.
Cradle to Cradle design seeks out the means to create products that will be deconstructed and recycled back into their original materials time and time again.

No stickers no colors : easy to recycle.

Just a beautiful crate, I wont rate it now just because I want to see a reasonable number of bottles inside and I think it would look even better as a smaller crate. Looking forward to updates;)

Thanks nininichvarak, did I miss something in the brief? I thought the numb and kind of coca cola bottle was up to us.??

almost 8 years ago

Thats right, but a 1l bottle and you have 48 of them.

"However, you can vary the quantity of Coca-Cola in the bottle and the size of the bottle, as you consider appropriate for the user of the future" I use the 1/4 liter bottle the most beautiful for me

Looks very impressive! But Nini rights, written in the brief that the box for bottles of 1 liter.

The Brief: "However, you can vary the quantity of Coca-Cola in the bottle and the size of the bottle, as you consider appropriate for the user of the future" So, any size of bottle :) Thanks Elina

hey there, just to clarify, as long as the proportions stay the same, the bottles can be any size you'd like!

Thansk Jess maybe you can post it also in the brief again, otherwise It will be hard work for me to reply everytime to the same observatio. :)

Great shape and look, also very smart idea to separate the plastics by color! I am curious if there are any dividers for the bottles inside? If not, i would suggest you put them, this will maximize the product and the crate stability. I'm looking forward for update! *8 so far :))) Good luck

Nice idea - But many bottles - waiting for a scaled drawing acording to the brief measurments............ ;-)

wwwbangkokowner

The drawing on slide 5 (section) is in scale, the bottle is the 250 cc. I will make it bigger in the next update. Thanks Mocki010!

Hey Francesco! The crate indeed has a beautiful shape. I understood from the comments that it's designed for the 250ml traditional bottles. Because you haven't mentioned this in the description and you haven't yet gave some measurements details, my first reaction was the same: "There are too many bottles! How do you carry this?" Actually you have a total amount of only 12L. So it's not that heavy. But from what I know a crate made for 250ml bottles has maximum a number of 24 bottles. So, my advice is to reduce in half the size of the crate keeping the same shape. And don't forget to mention for witch type of bottles is designed and also give some information about the dimensions of the crate. Good luck Francesco! :)

The brief allow to choose the size of the crate and the size and numb of bottles. If I have time I will follow your suggestion for a smaller version to see how it looks. The drawings in slide 5 are in scale but I will make it bigger.

Thanks again and good luck to you too I saw your work and look amazing!

Great link Francesco! :) Thanks for showing me it. Yes, it's mentioned in the briefing that you can choose the size of the crate and the number of bottles as you consider appropriate for the user of the future. So it's your choice. If you reduce the size of the crate in half, the proportion remains the same and also the height will be the same with your original idea. I think it will look good and quite compact. Your welcome and thanks you too for nice words! :)

With this numb of bottles you have to drink for a lots of weeks :-) Or for a big party, of course!

From the brief and from Jess contest guide: You can vary the quantity of Coca-Cola in the bottle and the size of the bottle as long as you keep the same shape. The one liter bottle is not mandatory requirement, and the sample they provide us is because of the bottle shape, but you can scale it according to your idea. I am surprise that no one contestant ever thought to use a different coca cola size :o

Great look -but thinking about the weight of so many bottles -even if they're little... What are the measurements? Even though I appreciate your idea of going back to the original size and number, maybe think about an alternative version with the average number of 1l bottles.

I am working on the 1l bottle too. Thanks

almost 8 years ago

Looking good Francesco! As everyone above has mentioned, I think you may need to do a crate with 1l bottles or bigger. I think the main idea is to have as much Coca Cola as possible on a Euro pallet, not necessarily the number of bottles but the amount. I did a small research (and correct me if I'm wrong), in Germany, they use plastic bottles to take home. I think it may be a bit weird having to carry 48 250ml bottles and you could just carry 12 1l or 6 2l. Overall, the design is good and I like the logo in relief.

wwwbangkokowner

Waited for your update...of this exceptional modern and elegant design ;o) Great work!

I can imagine why you started with the crate for small classic bottles, imo, a little better proportions for your design, but for this contest, I think it´s necessary to use the big bottles. Of course, this is 10* too!

This is a very attractive crate. I might suggest that you recess the logo instead of making it protrude. If it protrudes it's going to get dirty rubbing against the other crates. I think it would give a cleaner impression if the logo stays cleaner.

Das Design gefällt mir. Die Idee mit dem Logo als Relief sieht super aus - befürchte nur, dass sich im Laufe der Benutzung dort schnell Schmutz ansammelt, was gerade auf der weißen Oberfläche dann wieder unschön aussieht.
