The bulb box thing.
How about turning it into two different artsy products? A Starter box wich is bigger than the other ones to keep from burning down, that includes wire and stuff for the bulb to beinstalled in and a bulb. Plus, there should be guidelines on the inside to cut out circles for the light to go through and rectangular slots for the following:
Smaller modular addons! they’re just like normal boxes, but they don’t have the wire and plug and other lampstuff. Just a replacement bulb and patterns on the inside to take a needle and punch through them, and 2 rectangluar slots. This way it’s like a sweet modular indoor lamp, that can be expanded at the pace the bulbs break down. Or by adding some more of the bigger ones wich would make the whole thing even a tad brighter.

Or the Candle holder:
This one’s easy, close the stand and have the buyer fill it with sand, rocks or water. Also using the smooth packaging instead of the rough one, would make it easier to remove dripped wax.

And finally the TV,
Storebought. Theyre’s no extra fee for unusual packaging in your car’s trunk, is there? Also, If you have box actually be wood and the outside fuzz be packaged on the inside and later zipped on the shelving like a pillowcase it wouldn’t get dirty through shipping, pluss it adds nice padding for your brand new LCD not to get mashed on the trip. Or another Idea if you like the Pillowcase one: make it a whole zipcasething. Not just outside, but inside as well. Keep it in place (and from dropping on your stuff) by keeping it with a simple stick-like rig: imagine a cube. Take the edges, discard the areas. what you have now is like a stick figure of a cube. choose one of the vertical lines. Keep all the lines directly connected to it. Discard the others. That is what you push into the very back corners of the shelving unit. It should frame it perfectly without making you unable to look at your pretty fluff.

design and innovation should not be dismissed … it is there to propell your thiking in a way to work more sustainably. even if one person looks at a design and finds a better solution, the design can become more efficient and useable in the real world.

being sustainable is at the forefront of everyones mind being as i quote from waste watch;

‘Every year, around 28 million tonnes of household waste is produced in the UK. Although this waste would fill the Royal Albert Hall in just one hour, it represents only 5% of the total waste produced. It contains large quantities of organic waste which can cause pollution problems, as well as materials such as glass and plastics which do not easily break down. ‘

people need to start using their initiative and begin to accept the design not dismiss them, if you dont think it will work i suggest you dont slam the idea maybe think of a way to improve it.

positive thiking seems a rareity nowadays. I like the designs they are refreshing, different and something that could be used. Where most are probably at their beginning stages of design i do believe we are on a winner even having considered the concept of designing sustainably.
