A project started as a week-long project for the Vignelli Dialogue.

This is a workshop collaboration between Rochester Institute of Technology's Vignelli Center for Design Studies and Folkwang University of Arts.

The inspiration for this project came from Indian spice boxes. Indians use a lot of spices, and these need to be organized properly without touching each other.

These boxes contain smaller containers that all have a common lid that covers them.
