By combining the Japanese art with the finest of exotic fabrics and elegant handcrafting, Pandora’s Boxes’ products are both intricately mysterious and attractively unique in their gift arrangement and diaphanous composition.

 

The up-and-coming company are among the most creative of entrepreneurial groups engaged with Knowledge Dock’s services, having accrued an award in the category for Most Creative Product 2005 in the British Female Inventor and Innovator’s Network (BFIIN) early February of the same year; beneficially it was also through BFIIN (part of GWIIN- Global Women’s Inventor and Innovator’s Network) that Pandora’s Boxes were introduced to Knowledge Dock.

 

“Knowledge Dock have proven to be a useful resource,” says Denize Ladeatte, spokesperson for Pandora’s Boxes. While the company’s gift box designs are founded in traditional Origami techniques, their emphasis on handcraft does not prevent the young company from embracing the latest technology when pursuing their professional endeavours, as Denize elaborates:

 

“We’ve set up in the HotHatch environment, and plans are in place to use Knowledge Dock’s Simlab service, to help us use technology for developing an instructional multimedia product for our staff.”

 

“We haven’t started the project with Simlab yet, but we’re looking at putting together instructional CD-ROMs to enable staff training, so that they can do the origami boxes with greater precision and understanding than ever before. We have ideas and good intentions for honing our staff with multimedia, but it will take Simlab to actually facilitate some sort of package, to see whether it is possible and if so what programming or technology will bring it into fruition.”

 

Alongside technological developments, Knowledge Dock is also currently working with Pandora’s Boxes with hopes to secure future funding prospects for their growing business.
