Defining Design
October’s newsletter round up of the latest inspirational and thought provoking packaging designs.
BlackInkProjects say:
“We always wanted to manipulate mycelium material, push it further then anyone else had. We felt it needed to make sense and feel right for the right or particular project.
@blackinkprojects worked with @magicalmshroom to push this material & process further then ever dreamed of 💭.
@mrbailey Ozlucent & Ozmorphis was the perfect setting to house something in this mesmerising mushroom 🍄.
After over half a year of testing we finally got to a structure we were happy with. 📦
Knowing that these very limited edition pieces would be admired and hopefully kept – we desired to embed an NFC chip just under the surface or ‘MR’ in the MRBAILEY blind debossed logo.”
