package design - future could be brighter

Just wanted to write about a nice experience. Last November I took part in a workshop/course on package design, led by Prof. Michael B. Hardt. There we tried to create scenarios and concepts on the Future Package . The Lectures that Michael held during the course on future research were really interesting and gave ideas and a nice insight in packaging in general but also the methods used in defining routes for the future.

Our Team created this funky packaging system that actually would take us away from the usage of plastics and include new nanotechnology and the concept of "living package". As a concept example the team invented this make up package that would not only include nice aesthetic appearance, but also pointed out some weird new ways for the actual usage of the package. The Best possible: skin moisturizer that sweated out of the package when wanted.
