Why is there so much plastic on this red nose? It comes in a plastic box and has plastic fittings, which aren’t suitable for children under 7. Love the paper idea.

This is a very clever and subtle design. A lot of people will look at this and see an over-engineered product but if you have any knowledge of how design works you can tell Ive (and I will assume his team) has sat down and taken this project quite seriously.

For example a long-standing problem with old red noses, aside from their lack of recyclability is the fact that they don’t fit in your pocket and they are uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. They have solved this by having the concertina folding design allowing the nose to collapse and thus be pocketable. Its a clever solution to a simple problem.

This has big lumps of plastic in it! I don’t understand why he wouldn’t have designed it with stiff card for the structural/mating parts. Baffling that you wouldn’t design it to suit a single recycling stream. Also…. Is the case moulded fiber/paper pulp or is that plastic too? Surely not.
