Danish-born designer Martin J'rgensen was inspired by the 2010 Haitian earthquake to develop a concept for UNICEF that would bring added value to the packaging used to ship supplies from the relief organization. Requiring only a knife and the instructions printed on the box, recipients would be able to transform the packaging into temporary furnishings for a family in a refugee camp or into games or educational materials for children. According to J'rgensen, UNICEF is currently waiting for approval to set up a field test of one of his kits, though there is no specific time frame for production.
