Introduction
Kousoku Offset, based in Nishi Ward, Osaka, has unveiled an exciting new project called the "Megane Bantai Series," which features innovative paper glasses stands designed for both fun and functionality. This initiative is part of their ongoing project, "Idea of Ideas," which aims to expand the possibilities of printed products.
Concept Behind the Series
The idea for the glasses stand series originated from a simple yet relatable problem encountered by many parents: what to do with glasses when they aren't being worn. As families around the world grapple with keeping eyewear safe, Kousoku Offset saw an opportunity to combine functionality with creativity. The design process began with the image of an elephant, inspired by its large ears and distinctive trunk, leading to the whimsical concept of hanging glasses from its nose. This vision sparked a collaborative effort with designers to carefully architect a stand that looks good while ensuring stability for the glasses.
Design and Features
The final products in the Megane Bantai Series feature three charming characters: Banzo-san (the elephant), Banken-san (the dog), and Ban-nyan-san (the cat). Each character was designed using a single sheet of thick cardboard, ensuring easy assembly and sustainability. The designs are not only playful but practical, allowing the stands to be used as educational tools or engaging activities during community events.
The stands are perfect for various applications:
- - Children's Gifts in Eyewear Stores: They serve as delightful giveaways that encourage young ones to take care of their glasses.
- - Health Event Promotions: Companies can utilize the stands as promotional materials in direct mail campaigns, showcasing brand logos embellished on each item.
- - Family Workshops: The assembly process fosters creativity and can be a fun activity for families.
Additionally, the stands feature a side compartment where glasses can be stored securely, making them a practical solution for busy households. Custom design inquiries, including print options for logos and names, are welcomed, allowing businesses to add a personalized touch.
Recommendations for Usage
With their combination of functionality and playful design, Kousoku Offset recommends using the Megane Bantai Series at:
