Public Design- Sugar Rush

Although the making of the cotton candy is the most interesting aspect about this type of food, it is rare to find a Cotton Candy cart in the Egyptian streets, it is always found being sold by street Cotton Candy vendors carrying the cotton candy in plastic bags is a very common and enjoyable type of
food, especially among children. It is interesting to be watched while in the making, and smelling the caramelised odour it produces, that increases the appetite. Different shapes and coloured sugar is being used now to make famous cartoon characters for children, this make cotton candy a more attractive type of food for children.

Sugar Rush
Sugar Rush is a street Cotton Candy cart, which makes the behaviour of eating in public a more attractive and enjoyable experience. Egyptians in general love eating in public with their friends as a opportunity for gathering and having a little chat. Sugar Rush is unique due to its minimal design, which makes it light weight and portable. It comes with different bright colours to attract children, as they are the main target group. It has a music box inside with a handle outside, which produces music when turned, to make the waiting of the cotton candy to be made, an interesting experience. Moreover, grabs the attention of other passing people to know where the music comes from.
