Teachbox:  A Toy Design for Emergency Supply Boxes

Teachbox: A Toy Design for Emergency Supply Boxes

Each year, millions of boxes are shipped to developing countries by organizations like UNICEF, where food and medical supplies are needed. Designers Milad Mohajeri and Ali Haji came up with a idea for the boxes to be used for toys, and not to be used for just kindling. Their simple design integrates printing designs with perforated edges, so that they could be popped out and assembled like puzzles.

The designs when assembled become animals, vehicles, and people. Abuot their design, Tuvie writes, “Upon unpacking, most of these boxes are disposed of while these plain boxes enjoy a powerful potential to be creatively reused. In this concept, a sustainable solution is presented, based on which the simple model of 3-D puzzles is perforated on the boxes sent by UNICEF.”
