Straps Test

So glad that today we have a chance to have an intimate encounter with our chosen collection.The slot-together owl is more PLAYABLE and ARTFUL in reality.

The graphic design combined with the interlocking structure allows the viewer to see the owl in both 2D and 3D, and can be converted at will after stitching, without the need for further disassembly, making it easy to store. Perhaps there is something to be learned from this product in the direction of storage.

Studied book illustration at the South East Essex School of Art and found his way into advertising. That was when he began to develop his paper products – a collection of flat-packed, self-assembled cardboard gift boxes which was soon followed with a range of slot-together animals (‘Slottizoo’) and politicians (Slottiwhozoo). These products were quite unlike anything around at the time and perfectly captured the mood of ‘Swinging London’ in the sixties with its Pop-Art influences.

Throughout his career he has continued to develop ideas along with design consultancy and today concentrates on product development for The Original Metal Box Company along with his own graphic projects
