Postal Presents


i wanted to design a jewellery holder that was more interesting than the generic bar forms and too literal tree forms on the market at the moment. however, i still wanted it to be easy for the recipient to assemble, which is why i streamlined it to two main forms repeated. also i believe the shape of the pieces allow for intuitive assembly, as the slots that connect the parts have obvious matches. because of the multiple arms, more jewellery can be fitted onto this than other holders i have tried in the past.

Very interesting product, i like the way that it is put together and is able to support its self and the items on it.

The thing i dont like about this product is that when all the Jewellery is placed on it, it looks a bit too cluttered. Im not sure if its to do with either the shape or the clear material.

I like the fact that no jewellery holder is usually clear in material and have certain aesthetics that it adheres to. Yours is nice since it uses materials not usually associated with that function therefore allowing for a different sort of appeal to come through the product.

However, perhaps the structure of the product yield a sort of bulky appearance that perhaps can be slimmed down to allow for more space for the jewelleries themselves. Perhaps longer branches, thinner body? Just a suggestion =D

i think its really funky, its kind of 70's. i like the clear material and the dimensions it creates by being able to see through to the other interlocking pieces. what a trip. the man motif is done well; clean and simple. i wonder if the slots could be changed so that you didnt need the slightly odd shaped curved slot (the one that points down), i havent actually tried to put the thing together so i dunno how you would do this but something just jars about those curves with the cleanness of the rest of the forms.
