The first design exercise for a woodshop course. The assignment called for a single box with an interior space of 27 cubic inches. Any proportions are permitted, as long as it meets this volumetric restriction.
This box was designed around the measurements of coffee pod sleeves - a functional space which was designed to hold eight 1.5" x 1.5" containers.
Coffee pod sleeves are held tightly vertically by the box, and a matching 27 cubic inch counterweight balances the box both as a counterweight, and formally to match proportions of the void.
Small wooden blocks provide further stability for the sleeves, and allow for variation in the number of sleeves stored.
