Inspiration and ideas worth sharing

Inspiration makers

GBO brims with creativity when it comes to finding solutions. Usually at the behest of our clients, but our brainstorm sessions sometimes give a richer, more varied yield. Sparking ideas and moments of inspiration that don’t quite match the original question.

We believe that archiving those ideas or throwing them out is a waste. That’s why, every now and then, we’ll share these ideas and concepts on this page. They might inspire you or lead to new questions and thoughts that GBO might be involved in.

Our inspiration makers Jacques Gramser and Albert Zeeman are at your service to help your conceptual creativity flower.

Concepts:

Upside-down vase

Problem:

In a lovely bouquet, there’s always one flower that remains beautiful enough to grace the table for longer – except that the vase is too big. How can a single vase show off both a bouquet and a single flower to their advantage?

Solution:

The upside-down vase combines a wide-necked upper side – for a bouquet – with a narrow underside that can hold a single flower. The beautiful, practical design is ideal for e.g. florists, online retailers and hospitals.

Covidshopper

Problem:

Is that supermarket cart clean and safe enough? No matter how well the supermarket staff cleans the carts, stores no longer feel as safe due to Covid-19; besides, not all your fellow customers follow the infection guidelines.

Solution:

A shopping bag that fits any cart and cleverly covers the cart’s handles. This Private Covid Shopper prevents contact with potentially contaminated areas. Customers only touch their own shopper through the inside of the flap: safe and reliable. People who use the Covid shopper take responsibility and help reduce the danger of infection.

The Private Covid Shopper can be used as promotional material for all supermarkets, from Aldi and Lidl to Jumbo and Albert Heijn.
