3 More Chained Polyhedral Packs

Three more examples of connected chains of polyhedral packaging.

1. Charlérik Lemieux’s 8-pack of acorns, based on Gilles Vigneault’s 1976 song, “J’ai Planté un Chêne,” was an octagonal ring of connected pyramids. (via: Packaging UQAM)

2. The connected red boxes of Olivia Paden’s 2011 “Tripkit” serve as a metaphor for “a series of mini-adventures” portioned out to break up the monotony of a long car trip.

3. Zohra and Benoit Gillain’s Zebag is a chain of 6 triangular compartments for bottles of wine that folds up into a hexagonal carrying case.

Benoit Gillain, inspired by Zohra, his creative wife, two friends offers the compartmentalized design of a deployable bag … hexagonal since the original request was for one containing six bottles! After months of study, research, development, and the filing of a patent, the latest prototype gives way to end Zebag © 2008
