Marou Chocolate from Vietnam

Marou Faiseurs de Chocolat, based in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), was founded less than a year ago by two adventurous Frenchmen. Rice Creative got the mission to build the brand’s visual identity and packaging. ”Inspired by Marou’s unique story, we sought to develop an identity and packaging system with the right mixture of modernity and tradition. After much deliberation, we found the simplest way to create a system for the bars was to name each bar after the province where it’s beans originated, and ascribe a natural colour-shift. To highlight the hand-made, artisanal quality of the chocolate itself, we commissioned a local printing shop to use the traditional silk-screen printing techniques to hand print the design in antique gold ink on each wrapper. The finished packaging is then given to Marou who then hand wrap the chocolate bars.” Via Packaging World

100 x 100 Organic Food

Adrián Froufe is a spanish product designer based in Milan (Italy) and here is his Product Design BA Final Project. ”100×100 is a brand dedicated to organic food that seeks to create links between rural producers and urban consumers and tries to improve the quality of the products we consume in our day to day lives. In addition, we have tought to give this brand a new and attractive aesthetic component that breaks with the classic image of organic and environmentally friendly products. All packaging of 100×100, except for the obvious elements, is made of the same material: corrugated cardboard, to which the seeds of various herbs are added in the manufacturing process. When the container is no longer useful, it can be planted and the seeds will sproud. Thus, the idea of recycling takes on a different dimension to the traditional: From our waste we can generate life.” Made with the assistance of Frédéric Misik. Branding design in collaboration with graphic designer Jesús A. Nieto

 

Rape Seed Oil

Today, rape seed oil is a given food ingredient in Swedish kitchens. Food & Friends designed this package for Åke Ekström, a Swedish rape seed oil brand.

Milk & Honey



Designed by Beza Project ” Milk & Honey is a set designed for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for polish presidency in European Union. The set consist of the honey, mug, honey spoon and recipe for preparing a traditional drink: milk with honey. The drink itself has a delicate taste and health-giving properties – it strengthens the heart and supports the body in its fight against cold and stress. The design of the set has been inspired by motifs originating from Polish culture and tradition. The shape of the china mug resembles a traditional milk can and the spoon is shaped like the quill pen of a poet who describes the land flowing with milk and honey.”

Half for Happiness

A simple and smart campaign in Brazil. Casa do Zezinho partnered with two supermarket chains. A selection of the supermarkets’ fresh foods was cut in half and repackaged. These were then sold at full price. The idea behind the campaign is that half of the proceeds were given to Caso do Zenziho so that they could distribute it at their own soup kitchens.

Panettone 2012

It’s the Panettone time of the year. Of course I showcase a Panettone with connection to my dear Modena. This cake, chosen by Massimo Bottura at the stellar restaurant Bottega Francescana, to celebrate the three Michelin stars. It is achieved through all-natural raw materials and most importantly, the key to success, lots and lots of patience.

Pouch

By Olivia Decaris ”Pouch is a Malleable Carafe that enables the consumer to fill up their glass by pulling and squeezing the teat, with beverages including water and wine. Inspired by the cow’s udder mechanism and symbolism.‘Pouch’ proposes an innovative way to consume liquids.”

Delicate – New Food Culture

Delicate – A lovely book about Food Design. ”You are HOW you eat, as much as what you eat. Eating has become more than merely fulfilling a fundamental bodily need. Now, more than ever, it is an expression of our mindset, identity, spirit, culture, and aspirations.” As a Packaging Designer this book is really valuable, for inspirational purpose and to get closer to the most creative ways of creating and presenting food.

Nezinscot Farm



Lindsay Perkins ”To design a brand and package line that reflected the farm’s eco-friendly agricultural methods. All packaging is reproduced individually, making each piece a little bit different, just as products from an organic farm. The concept The Grass is Greener on our side is emphasized throughout the brand and product lines by the use of biodegradable paper made with grass seeds. So wherever and however the packaging is disposed, grass will grow one way to give back to the farm’s free range animals.”

Zeta Limited Edition


The Swedish brand Zeta celebrates their 40th anniversary this year, and the founder Fernando di Luca with family celebrates this by launching a limited edition tin-can. The retro-inspired package contains 0,5 L oil, and is designed by Identity Works. The illustration on the front is Fernando himself.

Cake in Bowl

 

 

 

Baking is a precise science. If the ingredients are not perfectly dosed it might be a disaster. Guy Benadon designed a series of three bowls, each associated with different cake recipes. The concept is to insert and measure the ingredients in the bowl in the order in which they appear on the marks inside. It’s kind of a no-brainer way of whipping up a quick dessert using one simple product. The project began while he was studying at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem.

Mel De Cal Milio





The design agency Puigdemont Roca has created this honey packaging ”There is nothing better for a natural and handcrafted product than work on the base of a direct association between the image of the product and the image of its origin, in this case, the bees”

Tempix

 

 

 

 

 

A lot can happen with the food along the value chain. It’s enough that one actor handles the package in too high temperature, to make an impact on quality and taste. The indicator works as a guaranty that all of the food has high quality once leaving the grocery store. If the food gets too warm, Tempix will destroy the bar code – and the package won’t go through the system. This fantastic invention is created by Henry Norrby and Mats Nygårdh, at Tempix, Sweden

Chocolateria San Churro

Designed by Studio Alto. ”San Churro’s Real Chocolate is a product range developed in reaction to a chocolate market flooded with inferior ‘confectionary’ chocolate.  Real couverture chocolate is made from 100% pure cocoa butter, nothing less and only couverture chocolate can truly be labelled the real deal.

The design response was to create something artisan, hand crafted and most importantly, real, to reflect the product itself. The result being a range of products each with its own individual type execution and colourway printed on 100% recycled card.”
