INDRA KUNTI ARJUNA
The Promise Of A Thing
In this project we dealth with product semantics, i.e. the non-verbal transmission of information through design. The appearance of a product (shape, material, surface, color, etc.) makes a promise to the eye that the user‘s body wants to keep. The goal of a good product is to keep this promise.

„Refill is the thing“
From hand soap to detergent, the containers were ergonomically designed for everyday use, hence the user can decide where Indra, Kunti, and Arjuna is best situated. Indra is the detergent, Kunti the shower gel container, and Arjuna designed for the hand soap. The name come from Wayang, a traditional puppet theatre play originated in Java Island in Indonesia. Where as Indra is the father, Kunti is the mother, and Arjuna is the son.
To minimize damage through use, the usage of a pump and screw cap was avoided. This allows the container to be easy to refill.
The angle of nozzle facilitates a controlled and elegant pouring motion. From sketches to 3D Modeling in Rhino. A lot of work was committed to finding the perfect proportion and find the right balance between the function and aesthetics. So that the liquid could be poured effortlessly, 3D Printing played a major role in the development of the container.
