The product was made visually appealing in both shape and
styling, with a stable base and lid to help prevent spillages. With a choice of six different colours, the
pokito was designed to appeal to a wide audience. Numerous prototypes were produced by IDC
Models for testing, and the design was refined until the perfect solution was
reached.
Much work was put into the selection of materials, with
product trials testing silicone and various plastics, with the final choice
being TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) for soft components and PP (polypropylene)
for hard sections. This choice meant
that the pokito was safe, odour-free and recyclable at the end of its
life.
