Viarco's The Tablet

The Tablet was originally developed by Luís Correia, a design student at ESAD, as part of the Packaging course ministered by Rui Mendonça. The premise was to create a versatile case for writing and painting utensils that could be adapted to the user’s needs practically, while providing immediate visibility of the objects.
