01

What had to be solved

A utilitarian product needed to be easier to read, easier to pour, efficient to ship and robust enough for commercial use.

02

What JungDesign did

David resolved the object through practical industrial-design decisions: stack form, calibration, handling and pour behaviour.

03

Why it mattered

The product remained in production for an international market and has sold in substantial numbers over its life.

Connection to the paintings

This kind of work explains the structure in David’s paintings: the clear edge, the controlled crop, the object treated seriously, and the confidence that comes from decades of making ideas survive contact with real-world constraints.
