Cool Packaging

Hatch by Nosigner:

Anonymous Japanese designer, Nosigner, developed a project called Hatch where real eggshells are used as planters which also provides the growing plant with nutrients.
"It provides nutrition of eggshells to plants while they grow. Hatch makes it seem that the plants are growing out of the eggs. When the plants are grown, you can return them to the wilderness with Hatch because the eggshells are biodegradable."


Gold Future Eyecream by Freedom of Creation:
“L’Oreal group is the global leader in cosmetics and has over a century of experience in the business. With 58 offices throughout the world, L’Oreal distributes its 18 brands in 130 countries.

ShisSushi Takeaway by MPFXDESIGN:
“Shis Sushi it’s part of Shis Restaurant for which was developed sub graphic codes. Inspired in the oriental culture, red was the chosen chromatic color for the artwork applied in the circular package. This was inspired in the oriental geometry and in the restaurant logo. From the drawing mold to the graphic design and production, the package (in thermo-molded pvc for food), it was thought to be resistant and practical for take away purposes. Inside it has different compartments to put the sushi, accompanied by chopsticks. Outside the package is sealed by belt of paper that identifies the content and the brand of the restaurant . The mentioned restaurant is situated by the sea in Porto, Portugal. All communication elements where designed by MPFXDESIGN, from a chromatic choice inspired in the sea.”
