Soap as a packaging material

Can you imagine how much plastics we can replace?  

"it is estimated that over a lifetime, a single person uses around 800 shampoo bottles, most of which are just thrown away and pollute the environment taking thousands of years to degrade. 
zhou’s soapack is a sustainable brand that proposes the use of soap as a material to package shampoo and other toiletry products. the packaging itself can be used as soap and completely disintegrates when used, leaving no plastic residue behind." designboom

mi zhou is a post-graduate student at central sant martins and developed this project for the material futures program. soapack was exhibited in the degree show during june 19-23, 2019.

 Another proof that design can save the world :)

Agape - Rigo by Patricia Urquiola - elegant customization

This new bathroom series is a perfect example of the trend of bathroom customization,  elevated at a high sophistication and luxury level. As usually Patricia Urquiola has an elegant and practical feminine approach that allows users to have the most beautiful modern bathroom created according to their own requirements.

"Rigo is a bathroom furniture system closely inspired by architecture."

Office workers can find calm and quiet in Cabana’s highly configurable modules, which are debuting at NeoCon 2019. “The office is no longer thought of as a division of space, but rather a landscape of places for possible moments,” explains Urquiola. source: Metrolis

 Trend alert: softness and comfort, blurring the line between the work and home environments - this is how the modern office feels today.
