Smells Like Spells

October 19, 2015 by Lovely Package

“Smells Like Spells production is a harmonized combination of natural fibre, ecology and a drop of esoteric know how. Each product is hand made, followed by original recipes, synchronised of both – traditional folk wisdom and experience, also modern perfumery, candle and insence craft methodology. We discover the tender distance between daily usage of unique products and the touch of magic in our life. A kind of charming exclusive game that brings a piece of secret to our routine.

The essence of Smells Like Spells packaging is to keep all products opened, vital and transparent. Role designed calls to assist not to persist. The second Smells Like Spells is taken, you appear in a pleasant unpacking adventure. We contribute towards the luxury of less – subtle and elegant. This is the reason why material and ingredients chosen are natural and laconic, followed by design which first brings that delight sense of touching.”

Românico Bordados

October 12, 2015 by Lovely Package

“Românico Bordados (embroidery) wants to recover the famous Vale do Sousa (an area in Northern Portugal) embroidery and turn these fantastic linen and cotton goods into luxury items. Noticing that the motifs of these embroidery have been the same since the XII century (they are inspired in the motifs found in Romanesque style Route monuments of Northern Portugal), they asked VOLTA to create a brand that showed off this fantastic longevity, the exquisite embroidery of their products and a traditional, handmade look.Our solution was to create a symbol based on the monument’s motifs, allied to a decorative but strong typography (Estilo Pro by portuguese typeface designer Dino dos Santos). We used kraft-like paper for the tags and product boxes, printing only in one color.

We also created the brand’s kids range, Românico Baby. With illustrations by Helena Soares, based on animals portrayed on the monuments of the Romanesque Route, this brand range has, on the other side, a focus on color and decoration. Each animal has its own geometric shape and color, with this palette allowing us to create very colourful packaging and product displays.”

“Where design and luxury meet mother nature

Bringing coconut wax and pure copper together for the first time, Cocolux Australia launches with eight fragranced candles in two collections, Sol and Luna.Cocolux candles are scented with the finest fragrances and hand poured from clean burning coconut wax. Organic by nature, coconut wax is made by coldpressing and hydrogenating its raw material – the protected coconut flesh. Unlike many other waxes, production is sustainable and free from toxins,the use of pesticides and the need for deforestation.

The copper vessel was designed with purpose to be re-used as vase, container or planter. Stunning in the home, polished or verdigris –copper’s oxidised, natural patina, copper’s glamorous lustre will add a little ‘lux’ to any stylish interior.”

Wally

August 3, 2014 by Lovely Package

“Wally is a sensor system that detects and alerts homeowners to water leaks and changes in humidity via their mobile device. Character created an identity system that extended across consumer touch points. Branding elements included website, mobile app, and retail packaging.

The new Wally identity needed to establish a sense of trust and warmth. Consumers needed to feel assured that this is a product that they could rely on to protect their homes. By extending the two ‘L’s in Wally, Character crafted a logotype that subtly yet playfully represented the way the sensors communicate with the main hub via wiring in the walls.”

Marshall Fridge

May 18, 2013 by Lovely Package

Designed by Proximity | Country: Canada “Even the box has stage presence. Loud, like a rock star. Practical, like a roadie. In just 48 hours, the Marshall Fridge box garnered over 14 million impressions online. And a few weeks later, a formal complaint from UPS because it was too appealing to thieves.”

Student Work – Megan Sarah

April 22, 2013 by Lovely Package

“Lumis is an environmentally conscious candle company. I designed packaging for their tea-lights to honour this commitment to sustainability. A recycled cardboard container with a lid will protect the candles better during transport and also be re-sealable after opening. Once the candles are gone the consumer can re-purpose this container to store something else, or easily recycle it. Allowing the natural cardboard to show, and using simple graphics and a single colour makes it instantly apparent that the minimum amount of materials and resources were used for the package. The tactile qualities of the cardboard and natural inks convey quality while also providing effective and attractive storage.”

A. Heirloom

July 6, 2012 by Lovely Package

“We worked with A. Heirloom, a company that makes US state-shaped cutting boards, to design a single box that could house all of their different shaped boards. The solution was to create a “periodic table” of state-shapes that could be marked off to indicate the box contents. There is also an additional “other” box for their occasional custom request.”

ByALEX A Range

‘The A Range is a simple furniture based on two interlocking letter As shapes. The range includes a stool, side table, coat stand.

Made from accredited birch plywood and available in white and grey, the A Stool and A Table come in a simple box with a carry-away handle. This is the first flat-pack, carry away furniture sold at John Lewis stores.”

Provenance

April 10, 2012 by Lovely Package

“Provenance makes high-quality homeware products from recycled, reclaimed and renewable materials.

As the packaging has to sell the story of the materials as much as the product, the brand language of ‘this is now’ and ‘this was’ is used across products to introduce the story of each item’s provenance. For example, ‘this was once bottles and part of a building’ to the reverse and ‘this is now an antipasti platter set’ on the front.”

Thymes Mandarin Coriander

April 4, 2012 by Lovely Package

“Thymes is a company rooted in the Midwest – it’s a part of their heritage. That’s why we decided to look to the textures and images of our region when designing the Mandarin Coriander fragrance line. Our goal was to match the fresh, clean feeling of spring with the nostalgia of a warm afternoon in the kitchen. We worked closely with the Thymes team, drawing inspiration from vintage patterns, authentic packaging forms and hobnail glass. This led us down a creative path that includes an eclectic mix of custom ceramic pieces, tea towels and aprons that compliment the ever evolving mix of home fragrance products. For the color palette, we opted for bright colors that reflect the scent’s vibrant, citrusy nature.”
