“With its colour and graphic design, the box follows the long-standing tradition of Czech mail boxes but it also offers a purely functional and an aesthetically valuable element,” the designers Ing. Eva Fridrichová and Ing. Lukáš Bařina said. Both students worked under professional supervision of Doc. Ladislav Křenek

The design of the mail box also took into account production using the rotational moulding of plastics. Rotomolding, or the rotational moulding of plastics, is a method for producing seamless hollow plastic vessels, e.g. tanks, reservoirs, air-ducts, mudguards and headlight hoods.

The principle of the rotational moulding of plastics is using metal moulds into which a plastic powder is poured. The mould is put in a furnace where the plastic powder is melted onto the mould walls. The advantage of this method is the low price of moulds and ease of use during small-scale production.

This unique design required protection as a registered industrial design. This was acquired with the help of the Institute of Technology Transfer, which deals with protection of intellectual property at BUT.
