It can be a challenge to securely transport fragile, irregularly shaped objects—to solve this problem, design graduate Mireia Gordi i Vila has created “Fragile”, a flexible and reusable packaging system.
Using a “resilient, resistant and durable” membrane that acts like a protective skin, this brilliant packaging design has been described as “a standard for the non-standards” by its creator—stretched within two frames to create a briefcase-like structure, the membrane wraps snuggly around the item, before it is placed in a conventional packing box.
A second version of the Fragile concept is applied to bottles—it uses three stretched membranes to hold bottles of various sizes in a “self-standing outer skeleton”.
