Birdhouse Nest
Toothpick Box for School of Future Design, Beijing Normal University
The unique herb stick box, shaped like a bird's nest, encourages environmental awareness. Each stick symbolizes a piece of bird's habitat, and their removal represents nature's destruction. The diminishing sticks portray vanishing forests, subtly promoting ecological conservation. This item balances human needs and environmental stability, conveying a potent message of environmental responsibility beyond mere aesthetics.

Unique Properties
Every year, because of the use of herb sticks by users, trees are destroyed and many birds living in the jungle receive a great impact.With the use of herb stickers, there are fewer and fewer herb stickers, as if the metaphor of "fewer and fewer woods", and the residence of birds is becoming more and more exposed and unstable. We hope that we can subconsciously arouse people to protect the "seedlings" of environmental awareness in their hearts.
Production Technology
Using environmentally friendly plastic processing and assembly that can be explained.
Project Duration
This project was completed in Zhuhai in March 2023.
Operation Flow
Through the metaphorical design technique, the designer metaphorically turns the herb stick around the bird into the bird's nest, thus constituting a harmonious and warm table landscape.Through this design, we hope to convey to users that we care about nature and ecology, which means we are also caring about ourselves! While focusing on human's own desires, we can move forward hand in hand with the surrounding ecology and protect each other.
Inspiration
Whenever the user takes the sticks from the box for use, the process of taking them out also becomes the process of "dismantling" the nest of the birds, thus gaining everyone's warning. Through this design, we hope to convey to users that we care about nature and ecology, which means we are also caring about ourselves! While paying attention to human's own desires, we can move forward hand in hand with the surrounding ecology and protect each other.
