Chocolate Records and Dream Balls

With huge chocolate sales coming up right after Single's Awareness Day (aka Valentine's Day), found that there was a lot of inspiration behind these chocolate records which appeals to all 5 senses: See, Touch, Smell, Hear and Taste.


Moreover, with all the packaging that goes to waste especially during specific holidays throughout the year, this particularly delightful concept called Dream Ball from Unplug Design illustrates how relief containers could be patterned to be made into soccer balls could serve as further inspiration.



This is the story behind Dreamball:
“To the children in The Third World; Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia, Congo and etc, who can’t enjoy football freely because of poverty, war and natural disaster, having a football means a lot and can be a dream and hope to escape from their poor life.

However, the children are so poor that they can not buy a football. So, they play football with the ball made of plastic bag or coconut palm leaves, therefore giving them their own footballs which can give them hope. This is our aim for this project.

We suggest this Dream Ball made of relief boxes delivered to those poor children by recycling.

A. Create patterns that can help making a ball on the surface of an aid box.
B. Activities of giving aid boxes to children in The Third World.
C. The used aid boxes will be recycled as a football by children with the patterns on boxes.
D. By making Dream Ball with the children together, the aid organizations will get the chance to be friendly with them.”
