Theoretically Unneccessary, Actually Neccessary Tool Design
Posted in: Uncategorized
The Progressive 6-in-1 Multi Opener is a neat tool designed to open six different types of packages. The photos tell you all you need to know about it, but beyond its obvious utility, it caught my eye because of what it says about package design.
If you’re young, healthy and have a good grip, you can open the things pictured here with your bare hands (except for the bottle cap). If you’ve got arthritis, these package designs that are so easy for others to open can become annoying obstacles. Right now it either doesn’t make economic sense for companies to design packaging that anyone can open, or the companies just don’t care.
