Everlasting Stories
Storytelling / Packaging / Graphic / Product / 3D Prototyping
Our intention was to create a piece with an infinite life cycle using eco-efficient concrete, and through this recycled material achieve a natural look similar to marble. By creating a texture of broken rock on one of the sides of the piece, we wanted to generate a dialogue between a clean, minimalist aesthetic and the raw natural essence of the material.
For the candles and looking to support local commerce we collaborated with Cerería Subirá, a family business with more than 250 years of history, creating three very warm fragrances: Honey, Pine and Cedar. We used recycled wax and a wood pellet to have a more lasting and pleasant combustion. The colors of each candle and their corresponding fragrances were chosen in tune with the paper colors of the packaging to generate a balanced composition and creating a feeling of peace and relaxation.
Staying true to the recycling discourse, we selected recycled Kraft cardboard for the exterior of the packaging and for the interior nest Gmund Bier Paper, also distributed by G.F Smith, which is elaborated using hints of hops, malt, yeast and organic pigments. Once the candle is finished, the piece can be re-used as a flowerpot, a jewelry dish, among other things.
