Meese Orbitron Dunne won the coveted "Conversion of the year" award for the intuitive design and rugged rotomoulding of a golf club merchandising cart for golf products manufacturer Titleist.
The result is a seamless cocoon of protection that virtually eliminates the potential for record contamination due to soda ash leakage common to seamed steel and vacuum formed products.
To accommodate the one-piece cover without compromising fire resistance and security, the safe includes a moulded-in hinge that demanded the joints meet exceedingly tight tolerances for strength and flatness.
The cover also includes a moulded-in threaded insert that permits the addition and assembly of a security lock without risking damage to the safe or cover.
The MediaVault safe measures 10.5 x 11.625 x 17.5in outer dimensions and 5.875 x 6.25 x 8.875in inside dimensions.
