About the box

On Packaging:
The best packaging is real-time, 3-dimensional proof that a brand is alive and well and ready for action. It identifies - and differentiates - a product from four feet away; it touches customers, engages partners and earns its brand ongoing loyalty and mindshare.

The White Room


For Homebase, UK's D-I-Y chain store. Modern minimal design. Paint cans now look stylish thanks to Turner Duckworth. Attention to details seems to be the underlying strength in all their work. From the name of the colours, to the finish of the cans, to the overall design.

Bootleg Wine











"The Bootleg Wine Collection is outfitted in a sleek, shrink wrapped bottle that looks like leather with a zipper that runs the length of the bottle. The name Bootleg is a play on words that alludes to the country’s shape and reputation for cutting-edge design. The wines are also labeled “Made in Italy” – a mark of cachet in the design world. Well-heeled and classically-structured, these family estate-made wines are the product of more than 650 combined years of winemaking tradition. The wineries themselves vary in regionality and theme, but share a desire and commitment to produce a single, top-quality wine evocative of their viticultural area inside a package that embodies their view of Italy: sexy, innovative and modern."
