Puli

Puli is a safety pill bottle with a double-cap closure. The outer cap is connected to the inner cap by tracks. In the initial position, the outer cap turns freely while the inner cap stays still. An adult can pull the outer cap so that protrusions and depressions engage the two caps, which then rotate together to open the bottle. Children find the outer cap hard to pull because the channel is narrow, so the contents stay protected. The flat body recalls a hip flask, hints at the pulling action and is easy to carry. Puli is made of HDPE by injection molding.

Mist

Mist is a humidifier whose packaging forms a working part of the product. The concept comes from a sealed plastic bag filled with air, where the air escapes when the bag is opened. Mist shows the amount of vapor visually through the size of the opening. The amount of vapor is controlled by pulling a trigger, instead of by electronic controls. The humidifier is made of ABS and PE plastic, and the white surfaces give a clean impression. Because the packaging is needed for use, the packaging is kept rather than discarded.
