When people think of New York City souvenirs, they often picture scale models of iconic landmarks. But we wanted to challenge this idea by asking: What is the most frequently seen structure while walking in NYC?

This led us to design a souvenir inspired by scaffolding, an omnipresent yet overlooked part of the cityscape. With roughly 9,000 scaffolds across NYC, they fade into daily life.

Our design reimagines scaffolding as a versatile vessel, usable as a pencil holder, flower vase, or magazine stand. Emphasizing its essence, we included an assembly process with aluminum pipes and 3D-printed joints, inviting users to take part in its construction.
