Bamboo Spices Bottles

Rationale

Bamboos are some of the quickest growing plants in the world，also is a common plant, although it is not very rough, but good toughness, folding also continued.

As the characteristics of continued and cavity，the idea of making spices bottles came out. Use those nature characteristics to develop domestic storage system make us live better.

There are multiple options of material for Bamboo Spices Bottles, Ceramics and Acrylic. Those materials are good at storage spices.

Ceramic materials are brittle, hard, strong in compression, weak in shearing and tension. They withstand chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic environments. Also Ceramics generally can withstand very high temperatures.

Acrylic is many times stronger than glass, making it much more impact resistant and safer. Acrylic glass is also very clear that it is only half as heavy as glass. This makes this material easier to work with, and makes it a better choice for projects where weight is an issue.

The main biomimetic concept of Bamboo Spices Bottles is continued which make bottles stick up together to save more space of the kitchen storage for keep neat and clean.

Bamboo Spices Bottles design to easy fill in spices because of top and bottom lips. Also don’t worry about airproof that body tube and lips fit each other perfectly.

Bamboo Spices Bottles use the nature bamboo characteristic to make the spices storage that is a good biomimetic use.

video reflection－the 11th hour

If the earth history of existence to 12 hours, we're now in 11 hours 59 points 59 seconds, and may man cannot live to 12 hours, this is the origin of the title,but last hour in which change is still possible. 

The 11th Hour is a very powerful and thought-provoking film that explores some of the most important and pressing issues that face our planet and it’s people. 

 From David Suzuki to former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, along with over 50 other leading scientists, the film compiles interview footage of some of the most respected and knowledgeable scientists and leaders of our time.  It clearly outlines the reasons for which change is necessary, and explores how we have arrived at our current state. People mostly do not realize how the earth is being destroyed.

In the end of the year, we always felt that we own world. Humans are the only one who’s destructing environment.

We always thinks we can turn the tide keep everything, but not our greed and presumption that everything is supposed all right.

Film it gave us great hope, because our technology as long as there is a conceptual change, we can alter the status and reverse the situation, the existing technical perform to their miraculous powers. But it's not very optimistic, because of desire and interests and to seize the chance at life, is not the man's history is repeated endlessly, and repeatedly warned of the matter?
