Solution

JoyCase is an affordable yet timeless accessory that enables the ritual of smoking to take place anywhere. The screw-on cap is inspired by the twisting of the end of a joint and allows people to easily open the tubes when they are all in the case. Made from ABS plastic, the form was optimized to be manufactured using only one 2-piece mold for all parts.


2023

It took a lot of hard work to find which opening mechanism is right for this case. Through user research we found that a screw-on cap is best both at creating a water-tight seal and allowing a ritual to happen. Even though a snap-on cap would be the quickest way to open, the act of unscrewing provides a much desired feeling of anticipation.

Since this is a mass-manufactured product, the form, material & surface finish was entirely defined by the injection molding process and ergonomics.

ABS plastic was chosen for it's impact & abrasion resistance and the deep black it affords evokes timelessness and discreetness.

Carefully modeled G3 surfaces define a truly uninterrupted form.
