Can products also be their own packaging?

Yarden Tzarfati from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design explores the relationship and boundaries between packaging and the product itself, joining them together into a single whole, based on the concepts of sustainability and nomadism. The collection includes glasses that become their own packaging and carrier.

Packaging increasingly holds a leading role in today's consumer society. The combination of the product and its packaging into one object emphasizes the value of sustainability and the value of a nomadic lifestyle by turning the eyeglasses into their own carrier. The project focuses on 'Zero Waste' principle by using 3D printing technology and by optimized the source files for minimal use of material and shortest print time. The project is inspired by Japanese calligraphy, which 'packs' one whole message by minimal use of graphic lines.

Techniques: MJF HP 3D printer and FDM
