The 'DUNSTA' terra-cotta storage container has been designed by Alexandra Fransson as a way to keep fresh ingredients from spoiling without the need for electricity. The unit makes use of the above-mentioned terra-cotta material for its construction, which enables it to be used without electricity or any resource-intensive processes. The interior section of the unit is paired with a layer of sand that, when paired with water, will work to keep it cool without the need for electricity or even disposable containers.
The 'DUNSTA' terra-cotta storage container follows an age-old process for food preservation, but takes on a distinctly modern aesthetic in order to make it both functionally and aesthetically pleasing. The maintenance-friendly design of the unit means it won't require constant care to be used.
