Mario Matkovich - Sharpsmart containers
The Sharpsmart medical sharps containers designed by Swinburne University industrial design alumnus Mario Matkovich are an outstanding example of Australian industrial design. The patented product and system was developed to address concerns raised by HIV infections in the 1980s and has become a standard in hospitals worldwide. The Sharpsmart was featured in the exhibition STILL09

Mario was always making things , even when a teen at school. His whole bedroom wall was one plaster relief of amazing colours much to his parents chagrin. Im not surprised to see he has done so well.
