ALB: Mange-Disque






This is not a retro toaster, it is a retro 45 record player called a “Univox Mange-Disque” and it is the debut album of French electro / folk / pop band ALB. The album, which was designed by bands lead signer Clément Daquin and his girlfriend/designer Emilie Vast, have generated a surprising amount of publicity for themselves.

Vera Wang Look Parfum Elixir




Thanks to Howard Rhee for sending in this lovely perfume packaging Monahan & Rhee did for Vera Wang.
For Vera Wang’s newest fragrance, Monahan & Rhee designed a secondary packaging program unique to the precious Parfum Elixir.

The two-box system for Look Parfum Elixir employs the watercolor paper of the product line, as well as its signature cool grey and bright orange color palette.

The bottle is nestled in a two-piece sliding tray carton that leverages the bold colors to present the bottle. The outer box utilizes the ribbon handle technique created by Monahan & Rhee for Vera Wang’s Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear Jewelry line. The product logo on the outer box is abstracted as a blind embossing, wrapping the entire exterior to present different cropped views.

China's packaging industry is currently undergoing a growth rate that is set to turn the sector into one of the country's leading industries. Usage of typical Chinese colors, symbols, and compositional elements are often seen in most high-end products. In this post, I am happy to feature one of the most popular packaging design firm in China, Sealing Design (西林设计).

Sealing Design are experts in the field of print finishing and take a strong liking to visual effects. Throughout the years in the industry, Sealing Design has grown to a considerable size in China.

Daniele de Winter




“The brand Daniele de Winter implies scientific research, natural ingredients and a high society luxury brand. We tried to keep the packaging of the cosmetics very clean and reduced. This should underline the exclusive character of the brand.

A simple cylinder with one degree of bevel. This makes the product special without obvious ’styling’. The bottom part of the product is made of glass. This shows the background of the scientific research and stands for honesty and highest quality of the ingredients. It’s a matter of cause or self evident that this product is 100% natural and the best for your body.”
