Chess Piece
The recycled Dior perfume bottle cap is cleverly connected with the chess made by 3D printing through a buckle to form a chess piece.
Chessboard
The rattan pattern is cleverly designed into a chess board with Dior characteristics.
This project is the result of the project of "redesign of recycled packaging materials" jointly conducted by Tongji University and Dior, aiming at transforming the discarded Dior real me perfume bottle caps into chess with environmental protection and aesthetic value. The design is inspired by the elegant shape of the cap, which is similar to a chess piece and can be perfectly matched to different sizes. The upper part of the chess piece adopts transparent resin 3D printing technology to replace the traditional acrylic beads, and is buckled with the lower part of the bottle cap without glue, thus realizing environmental protection assembly. The chessboard is inspired by Dior's classic rattan pattern, using gold, silver and black colors, and is made by acrylic UV printing technology, which is both beautiful and functional.
In the design optimization, the upper part of the chess piece is changed to black and white to reduce production costs and reduce environmental impact. The whole design follows the concept of reduction, reuse and recyclability. Through precise material use, resource recycling and recyclable process, it shows the integration of environmental protection and fashion aesthetics, giving waste packaging materials a second life.
Environmental protection principle:
Reduction: The upper part of the chess piece adopts 3D printing transparent resin technology, which can not only accurately add materials on demand and reduce waste, but also make various complex shapes of chess pieces. At the same time, rapid prototyping technology can reduce production costs and meet user needs.
Reuse: The lower part of the chess piece is the true self perfume bottle cap. After classification, cleaning, disinfection and other treatments, the expired perfume bottle cap can be used as the raw material of the lower part of the true self chess piece, and is fastened with the transparent resin of the upper part to realize the reuse of resources.
Recyclable: Acrylic itself is a recyclable material, and its recycling process is relatively mature. In the production process of the chessboard, through the acrylic UV printing technology, the Dior classic rattan pattern is printed on the acrylic board. This printing technology can not only ensure the clarity and aesthetics of the pattern, but also has little impact on the performance of acrylic materials, which is conducive to subsequent recycling.
To sum up, in the design and production process, the design concept of reduction, reuse and recyclability is adopted, which reduces the use of materials, realizes the recycling of materials, and shows the harmonious coexistence of environmental protection concept and fashion aesthetics.
