Kenya Hara designs

While reading Kenya Hara's Redsigning Design, I came across an image in keeping with my Major Project, a garment that has zippers all round each opening to a pocket. These openings can be stuffed with newspapers which retains the heat therefore allowing you to sleep outdoors wearing this item of clothing alone! This lead to investigate further the idea of sustainable living whereupon I happened upon this image.

By a Japanese home building company Sago Mokuzai who design houses that come in two boxes (41 Kg each). With its purpose being for emergency use and durable for roughly 6 months.
I just stumbled across this image which takes on a whole new meaning to the idea of packaging, for me it drives home the freshness of the produce, however I have no doubt that others would have misgivings about how perishable the item would be and therefore forgo on such and choose the 'safer' option of bottled glass or plastic.
