- Title:
- Crayonne 2 bathroom jar
- Object name(s):
- household hygiene; container
- Brief description:
- A cylindrical, black coloured storage container, complete with original box, designed by Martin Roberts for Conran Associates and manufactured by Crayonne Ltd. Terence Conran set up Conran Associates in 1971 and won a Design Centre Award in 1974 for the Input range, a series of 21 brightly coloured, heavy duty plastics containers designed for Crayonne, a subsidiary of Airfix Plastics. In 1972, David Sinigaglia, Managing Director of Airfix Industries, set up the design subsidiary to try to improve the image of plastics and approached Conran to apply high design principles to everyday homewares. First launched in 1973, the Input range was created to be interchangeable, with the same height and diameter used throughout, and included trays, bowls and vases with an assortment of lids and insulating liners. Originally in red, yellow, green or white, with additional colours added later, none of the pieces were named but instead given a number. This bathroom jar was part of the second range and is made from injection moulded, polished acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), chosen for its scratch and shatter resistance, with the lid handle consisting of three indented circles for finger grip. Input won the 1974 Design Council Award for Contract and Consumer Goods and the Living Award for Good Design (sponsored by Living Magazine in conjunction with the Design Council). See AIBDC : 008800, 008831 and 008832 for other examples.

- Martyn Rowlands trained at the Central School in London. He specialised in plastics. He was one of the first trained industrial designers to work with British industry after the Second World War. He worked first for Bakelite Ltd, then set up the design department at Ekco Plastics, where his products won a number of design awards. In 1959 he left Ekco to work as an independent design consultant. This was at a time when the idea of the design consultancy in Britain was still in its infancy. One important commission in 1966 was the popular telephone known as the ‘Trimphone’, which won a Design Council Award.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Rowlands continued to design plastics for domestic use. He had various clients, including Boots, for which he designed nursery products.

- Martyn Rowlands trained at the Central School in London. He specialised in plastics. He was one of the first trained industrial designers to work with British industry after the Second World War. He worked first for Bakelite Ltd, then set up the design department at Ekco Plastics, where his products won a number of design awards. In 1959 he left Ekco to work as an independent design consultant. This was at a time when the idea of the design consultancy in Britain was still in its infancy. One important commission in 1966 was the popular telephone known as the ‘Trimphone’, which won a Design Council Award. Rowlands also designed disposable meal trays, cutlery and tableware for the transport industry - both British European Airways (BEA, 1967) and British Rail.
