:: Wrapping Week: eys's delight II

How clever is that. Tissues boxes not famous for being decorative and now look at this nice idea.

Giving sox as a gift will never be an embarrassing situation with this sophisticated packaging.

I always liked supermarkt shopping at Migros in Switzerland. They have absolutely beautiful designs. The older ones even had a charming retro appeal. The new ones as the one above are simple and very high end. Would even turn a vegetarian to buy a slice of meat.
The products are quite cheap. The whole of Switzerland shops there. It can be compared to Aldi in Germany. But compared with the package design of Migros Aldi is a shame.



No comment. Just perfect.



The japanese just know what they are doing very very well.

:: Selected wrappings: eye's delight

Food packaging is perfect for field studies in packing and wrapping. I'm always drawn to products that come in a unexpected packaging, extraordinary colours and with nice illustration.

:: Wrapping Week

Christmas is officially 58 sleeps away and I think it's legal to speak now about the most creative aspect of the holidays: wrapping and packging. So this is wrapping week. And it will be all about nicely designed boxes, bottles, tins, industrial design and eco packaging.

I like to start with furoshiki, the traditional japanese art of gift wrapping. Unsurprisingly in Japan everything centers on the presentation. Just think of sushi. So this is a clever, eco friendly and aesthetic gift-giving experience for both, the giver and the recipient.

This handprinted furoshiki is by Persimon and Pine.They also have a etsy shop.
