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."

seasons platos con-forma-de-hojas Seasons :: leaf-shaped dishes design

Seasons, diseñado por Nao Tamura, son una serie de utensilios para servir y contener comida, inspirada en la naturaleza, con mucha carga tecnológica y bajo una visión muy japonesa.

Ganadora del último Salone Satellite Award, los contenedores están realizados con arena de sílice, que como una hoja real, dan una sensación muy natural y primitiva. Se pueden enrollar para su almacenamiento y son óptimos para usarlos en el horno tradicional, en el microondas y en el lavavajillas.

Cada hoja tiene su propia forma, capaces de ser apilables en su estado abierto y formando un colchón de hojas silvestres. Es como comer en el suelo de la mismísima selva tropical.
