Apple Bud: a Portable Carrying Container

Design Challenge:
• A vessel meant to contain and display a fruit 
• Primary material and process: laser cut aircraft plywood
 
Concept:
Inspired by the blossoms of an apple tree, Apple Bud is a portable vessel for both the transport and display of an apple
Inspiration: apple blossoms 
Different initial concepts for cardstock prototypes:
• The way an apple is pealed with a knife
• Twisting motion (like how a stem is twisted off)
• The shape of apple slices
• Apple baskets
• Strings and tension
First four aircraft plywood prototypes (not laser cut)
Final laser cut prototype: open
Final laser cut prototype: closed
