Eva Solo Tea-maker



"The Eva Solo Tea-maker is a complete solution to tea making. The Eva Solo design utilizes a solid metal cup that when depressed fully encases the leaves, preventing further steeping and the tea from becoming bitter. Because the elongated filter allows the leaves to extend to the bottom of the carafe, a partial pot is easily brewed. When pouring, the unique flip-top lid opens automatically with the metal lip preventing messy drips. The fabric cover (referred to as a “tea-shirt”) keeps the tea hot and accentuates the sleek lines of the glass jug as well as protects the pourer’s hand and the table from heat. The “shirt” comes in a variety of colors and materials to allow consumers to “dress” their tea maker to fit their personal style."

love the design! heres to making my own tea from now :)

Kenzo Ryoko


"Ryoko, the unique pebble-shaped polypropylene design that resulted, is engagingly tactile and friendly. Smooth as silk, it can be slipped into a pocket or nestled in the palm of the hand like a caress. Each fragrance (flower, summer, air, l’eau par Kenzo or Kenzo pour homme) is easily identified by the color of its pebble. And because of its soft plastic form rather than the typical glass bottle, Ryoko is perfect for its intended use as a travel perfume. Each bottle is precious without being fragile."

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.

Saks Fifth Avenue





With a re newed logo comes exciting packaging. The logo was divided into a grid of 64 squares, which when shuffled leads to "98,137,610,226,945,526,221,323,127,451,938,506,431,029,
735,326,490,840,972,261,848,186,538,906,070,058,088,365,083,852,800,000,000,000" combinations. phew!!!
The most interesting part is the constant use of design without the boring repititions of using just one element all over.
