linkcan

This design was proposed for PACKAGING INCLUSION, a project that considers the value of packaging that society will demand in the future. "linkcan" is a coined word combining "link" and "can" and refers to a can that links the everyday and the extraordinary. The label is printed with a graphic that uses an abstract illustration of the food inside. This is a design that one would want to keep in a visible place in one's room on a daily basis, yet still be comforting in times of emergency. Many packages of disaster food preserves contain too much textual information, with too much emphasis on practicality. As a result, few people keep them where they can be seen on a daily basis, and it is easy to lose track of where they are when an emergency occurs. We believe that it is precisely because we are in a time of disaster that we need designs that entertain and reassure the mind. The dedicated storage case can hold 21 cans, and the cases can be stacked with each other. The case can also be used as a stool or a small table by placing a board on top.
