Meri Meri: Cardboard engineering centrepieces

Re-shaping cake stands: From concept to cardboard engineering & artwork, I have designed a wide variety of fun & inventive centrepiece retail products, all a departure from the ordinary. Some have included animated, pop-up, light-up, magnetic or sound elements. All designed to be cost effectively manufactured with creative packaging solutions and simple for customers to assemble. They have sold in stores all over the world. A selection of these projects are shown below:

Ferris wheel centrepiece that revolves. The gondolas hold cupcakes and the wheel can be locked for serving if required. I designed it to be easily assembled and also strong enough to support the weight when full of 8 cupcakes.
