100&NOMORE

A new brand producing gins with special flavours, which requires a name, position and image. The crux of the project is its exclusivity, with batches of 100 numbered bottles of each flavour. The first thing is to find a name that refers to this quality and which gives rise to a story: A Dutch sailor, Andreas Van Loy, is sent by the Dutch East India Company in search of a berry with which to make a curative gin, capable of alleviating the pandemic that is ravaging the Netherlands. After two years in the Java Sea, just as he is about to end his voyage without having achieved his goal, he finds the sought-after fruit, fills the holds and begins his return. However, encounters with storms, pirates and the harsh conditions of the return voyage decimate the ship’s cargo. Upon arrival at the port, the berries are unloaded, and it is discovered that very few of them are still in good condition. The Prince of Orange, dismayed, tells him just how few bottles of gin they will be able to fill: 100&nomore!

On the label, without adhesive, held in place by a rubber band, the central feature is the lot number, and on the reverse there is a text relating to the corresponding flavour of the gin, which can be read through the glass on the back. The bottle is sealed with sealing wax and is presented in kraft cardboard boxes of one or three units that serve as a shipping box, since sales are made on the internet and we wanted to avoid having one box inside another.

Noite

When we design a label, the first thing we do is look for an idea that suggests an image or a focus to start working with. Sometimes this idea is found in the brief, sometimes in the origin or the characteristics of the wine itself, and occasionally it is found in something external, such as the moment in which it is enjoyed: a summer night, a hammock on the terrace, a glass of Albariño and a dark sky filled with stars. All is calm, and there, floating in space, are five letters that say it all: NOITE.

Wines of the World

This is a range of wines that Belgian supermarket chain Delhaize offers within its own brand “365”, which includes simple, everyday products at affordable prices. The cork is a sign of humility, an object of little value, often used as craft material, as a simple and easily manipulated element with which to play and create. The use of cork gives it the air of something simple, typical of an everyday product. The cap is the element that unifies and personalizes the whole range. The motif designed for each label refers to the country of origin.

Zara Parfum Intense

This is Zara’s top range of fragrances. We designed a bottle with a rounded-off square cross-section, like the basic range, with a smooth and seamless transition in the meeting of the shoulders with the neck. It has heavy glass characteristic of premium fragrances and painted inner walls, so the bottle appears to have two skins: the exterior one transparent, and the interior one in silver (later versions have been made in other colours such as red, pink, etc.). The lid was designed to form a continuation of the neck, adding a transparent outer cover so it would have the same set of double skins as the body.

Utopick Adviento

Advent calendars have recently arrived to Spain, but they have done so with strength. Companies see in them another possibility to reach their end customers by touching the emotional fibre and offering a pleasant experience. The triangle dominates the entire design of the Utopick calendar, firstly because it is linked to the brand (a little paper boat made of triangles) and secondly because it replicates the shape of a Christmas tree. It comes in a triangular box in which the 24 little boxes are arranged, also triangular, with golden geometric patterns that turn them into Christmas decorations. That's what they really are, because they are designed to hang on the tree, so that they have more life than usual and a starring presence during the festive season. Inside, delicious pieces of chocolate, designed for the calendar with ad-hoc motifs, await the day marked in their little box.

AD Musk

The task was to design a new line of women’s fragrances for Adolfo Domínguez which had a twofold objective: to convey the spirit of the new fragrances based on musk as the main ingredient, with sensuality and naturalness given prominence; and also to provide sustainable packaging.

Based on the iconic “Agua Fresca” bottle, in a refillable version (regular and refill), a wooden stopper was specially designed with a natural finish to add warmth. In terms of finishes, a thin layer of matt paint was chosen on the bottle, which gradually fades from the shoulders until it disappears in the lower area to reveal the transparency of the glass. The collar, in which the stopper sits, was designed with the brand’s logo engraved in matt black bas-relief.
