“Curious Mixture is a supérieur French Absinthe Les Blanche. The name is inspired from the curious mixture of herbs that are put together to make this Absinthe. The black bottle gives it a mysterious character.”
“The brief was to create packaging for a premium of absinthe. I chose the name The Black Sheep because of the misconception of absinthe being hallucinatory.”
“For our 12th Christmas gift we resurrected the glory days of Absinthe and created a bespoke single batch of only 250 bottles. We exhumed some old-school printers who worked their craft die stamping the inks and embossing pure cotton fibre paper. “Absinthe, mother of all happiness, O infinite liquor, you glint in my glass green and pale like the eyes of the mistress I once loved…” (Gustave Kahn) Available later this year in a limited second batch.”

“This is an absinthe bottle I designed for a alcohol packaging assignment. I took inspiration for the name “baïonnette” and design of the bottle from the earliest big consumers of absinthe; the french soldiers in the Algerian war.

Louche Absinth is a fictional absinth product, created to appeal to premium spirit buyers. The packaging design was influenced by the bohemian culture during the 19th Century in Paris. The watercolour spot is a link to the writers and artists who were famously known to drink absinth during this time. The bottle is coloured a milky/beige as a reflection of the name ‘Louche’ (being the milky essence that forms in the drinking ritual) as well as giving a ‘secretive’ feel.
