Lavare: Dish Soap Container

Although deeply rooted in aspects of form, the criteria for this project was fairly open-ended. Its purpose: to develop and showcase an iterative design process in the context of creating a container for dish soap. The only requirement for the final deliverable, a model of the developed design, was that a minimum of one part be hollow casted on a rotomolding machine.

A Focus on Reason

As the project progressed, I developed my own criteria that greater emphasized the conceptual realm of design in order to better address real issues relating to dish soap containers. I decided, in addition to considering form, to take a look at how dish soap bottles are distributed and used so that solutions could be developed that make the product worthy of existence. These additional considerations truly strengthen the project as the container becomes more than just another offering; it becomes an evolutionary successor.

A Focus on New Methods

Dozens, and in fact over a hundred, concepts were developed in total, the strongest of which introduced new methods of use that in turn addressed an issue with the current way of doing things, shipping lots of heavy liquid around the country in plastic containers made to be thrown away.

The final solution is a quality, long lasting product that ships empty and acts as a platform for light, dissolvable discs of soap that turn into liquid soap upon contact with water provided by the user.
