Constellation

Constellation is a limited edition packaging design for collectible lighters. The packaging lights up through small dots on its surface, and the lights can be turned on one by one to form different zodiac signs. At the end of the effect, the lights slowly fade in and out. The light effect is rechargeable with a USB cable and lasts twelve hours when fully charged. The lighters hold onto the inner packaging with magnets, so the box can also be used as a display. A hidden triangular bar folds out at the back to make the packaging stand upright. Paper is the main material used.

Mirzam: Monsters Collection

Chocolate-makers from the UAE (Dubai) needed a branding for handcrafted bean-to-bar chocolate. From the naming and identity to the product design and packaging, the team designed each element with a fascinating story around the whole concept. The brand based on journeys through the ancient Orient along long-forgotten ocean routes and pathways was created. A journey from one country to another, meeting monsters and mythical characters. The packaging design is the illusion of a journey between myth and reality.

Organic

Organic is a wine label design created for a certified organic and vegan wine brand. The label is inspired by the self-sustaining ecosystem of organic vineyards, which are grown without chemicals or synthetic products. That natural balance protects the vines from pests and diseases and supports the health of the grapes. The label is printed on recycled certified paper in four special colors, using digital offset with silkscreen finishes and a protective varnish. Printed reliefs replace metallic stamping, so metallised foils are avoided.

The slim pull-out carton can be opened and held with one hand, and the reopenable structure keeps the package easy to carry and use.

Cera Una Volta

Cera Una Volta is a wine label and gift box design created for a small winery. The label carries an illustration in a fairy tale style that tells the story of the wine and of the people who produce it. A young girl and a swallow are shown flying to follow a dream. The label is printed on coated paper with a texture that recalls fabric, finished with a soft and silky treatment, soft touch colors and embossing. A transparent burgundy bottle reveals the golden color of the wine. The matching box holds three bottles and is covered with the same paper.

Chinese Mooncake

Chinese Mooncake is a gift box designed for mooncakes offered during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The outer box follows the form of a traditional Chinese food box. An embroidery-style illustration shows an aerial view of a banquet of the Tang Dynasty, including wooden architecture and dancers. Each part of the illustration is separated by die-cutting and then joined again, so the packaging gains depth and layers. The inner box presents dance movements from Rainbow Skirt and Feather Coat, combined with classical Chinese colors such as royal purple and bamboo green.
