Interactive Lamp Design

My mind is BLOWN. I'm not a wine drinker but I have lots of friends who swear by it. Let's call them winards. The Light Sommelier interactive light is so urber cool, even my winard friends would enjoy it. The action of turning and dimming lights is transposed into wine drinking gestures. As the bottle tips into the glass, the glass lights up. As you tip the glass over, the light dims. You can even vary the intensity by how much wine you "pour". All done with simple proximity detectors and gyros. Loves it. Happy Monday.

Morgan & Milo Shoeboxes Package Design

Adorable work from Chris Piascik:

"I recently worked with Moth Design and Alphabet Arm to illustrate these fun shoe boxes for Morgan & Milo, a children's show company located in Boston. The boxes are designed to promote recycling and encourage the end user to keep the box. They are covered with puzzles, games, mazes, riddles, quotes and fun characters. They are kraft boxes screen printed with white and green. As you can imagine this was a very fun project to work on. Mia at Morgan & Milo is fantastic as is everyone at Moth and ABC."

Bols 1575 Vodka Bottle Design

"Bols 1575 Amsterdam (aka the inventors of gin and the oldest distillery brand in the world!) asked Mash to assist them in revamping their Bols Vodka Bottle. The packaging needed to have respect for the heritage behind the Lucas Bols brand which has been around since clogs. 

Mash designed a series of classic and elegant bottles based on vintage French perfume packaging."
