THE JOURNEY | PROCESS

Vessel Design

The objective of this project was to develop a vessel and packaging for our paint formulation.


THE SOLUTION

We decided to design a minimalist bottle that refers back to the containers with chemicals found in the darkroom. The dark gray bottle with smoked glass effect is inspired by the olfactive aspects and mysterious scent of black ink an early renaissance paint recipes. 


The overall design of the packaging has been kept very simple yet memorable, revealing the mystery of a captured moment, the abyss of creative endeavour, embodied.

I'll be editing some mock-ups for my idea vessel, and for full boxed sets. 

This process will help us to determine more precise costs involved and identify any potential limitations in terms of available options..

Each pigment source and its corresponding formulation involve labor-intensive, hand-sourcing of limited resources with restricted supply. For those who desire specific hues in 30 ml bottles, we will evaluate the remaining availability of each formulation after the initial offering is released. While it might be possible to create a few additional bottles of each colour, we cannot assure this outcome due to the limited nature of the materials.
