I thought circles were limited for evoking the subtleties of time as their inherent symmetry doesn’t leave much for elaboration. The other form factor that people are accustomed...
Week 2 - South Africa Prototype Project
- 2 Right Angle Triangular Volumes that fold to form a 1.5” x 4” x 6” box
- Allows for separate Containment of both test units
- Instructions printed along inside when opened like a book
- Sealed on one end
- Bottom Cap has 2 holes for vials
- Stands Upright
