Description
This periodic table travel case is a compact, rounded box with a hinged lid, printed across its top with the full table of the elements. The design is laid out like a classroom chart, with the heading Periodic Table of the Elements running along the top edge, numbered groups across the columns and the lanthanides and actinides in their own rows underneath. Every element has its own small square, coloured in soft greens, teals, oranges, yellows, greys and reds on a warm cream ground, so the families of elements read at a glance. It is made from metal and plastic and measures 8.5cm in length, 5cm in height and 3cm in width, a size that slips into a coat pocket, a handbag or a glovebox.
We like it as a home for the small things that tend to go astray on the move: hair grips, a pair of earrings, a memory stick, a few coins or a spare key. It sits neatly in a rucksack, a school bag, a suitcase or a desk drawer, and at 0.04KG it adds next to nothing to whatever you are carrying. The bright chart makes it easy to find when you rummage, and it earns its place at home too, keeping odds and ends together on a desk, a bedside table or a dressing table.
The lid opens on a hinge along one long side and closes down over the base, and inside, both halves are finished in plain white, a clean contrast to the busy print on top. To keep it looking its best, wipe the outside with a soft cloth, slightly damp if needed, and dry it straight away rather than soaking it. Pop a pair of cufflinks or a little note inside before you wrap it and it makes a thoughtful little present that keeps being useful long after the paper has gone.
