The combination of leaf and lip figures in the logo symbolizes the awakening of nature, human respect for nature, and nature's smile. This logo makes the consumer feel the positive effect of the brand on nature and people. - Dimensions & Packaging

In the sleeve design, the white background reflects the pureness of the product. Soft colors represent the extracts. The simplicity of the products is also observed in the packaging. - Design Challenge
- Topics, including the environment and climate change, growing consumption, and the environmental footprint, were one of the main factors that affected the design.
The main challenge was to reflect this point of view from the brand name to the logo, from the bottle design to the label design. - Project Duration
- Turkey, 07 July 2021 - 20 November 2021
- Operation Flow
- The product range will be available online, so warehouses to facilitate operational storage and cargo shipment are designed to increase consumer satisfaction after-sales.
The bottle has been designed in industrial designs to take up minimal space in storage and cargo shipments. As a result, there is minimum air space in the box in storage, parcel, and cargo packages which helps to reduce carbon emissions in transportation. - Research
- With consumers' awareness regarding health and natural products, their lifestyles have also changed. Therefore, as in every category, the interest in products with natural ingredients has increased day by day in household cleaning products.
As a result, brand and packaging designs that reflect product contents with a strong brand identity emerged. While the products do not harm the environment thanks to their unique formulas, their packaging designs also reduce their carbon footprint. - Inspiration
- The main inspiration was the nature-friendly standpoint of the brand. Therefore, the design that meets the responsibilities on essential issues concerning the environment and the trace left on nature was the primary goal.
While creating the designs, the words of the famous architect Gaudi inspired the process. Gaudi sees no straight lines or sharp corners in nature and adds: "Nothing is art unless it comes from nature." Therefore, the product bottles look in harmony with nature, with simple, rounded lines. It was crucial for the brand's visual world to feel this perspective.
