Off the Roll Tape Sculpture Contest

Another find from DT. Scotch tape recently sponsored a tape sculpture contest to show the endless creative possibilities of a typically unrecognized medium, clear packing tape. The Grand Prize winner was Elizabeth K. from Wisconsin who recreated her pet goldfish at a mammoth scale. She won $5,000 and a case of, what else, Scotch tape!

Roman Bridge is Falling Down

To demonstrate the lightweight construction of a new 14 story communal building atop a bridge in Rome, OFL architecture recreated the structure by amending a box of Barilla. Perhaps through molded pulp or lasers or magic we can recreate this technique with one of our designs to create a collapsable piece of packaging.

Yes, the used box of pasta is more interesting than the building.
