“Dogs&Drops is a dogcare brand which takes care of our pets and keeps them clean and happy. We represent the dogs with and element of humour that will appeal to owners. We kept the look of the packaging clean to give it a hygienic feel, and paired that with bright colours to make the brand look young and fresh.”

wicker furniture from the family love tree- from Design*Sponge by Amy Azzarito

wicker furniture from the family love tree:


Growing up, each of my two sisters and I had our own style for our bedrooms: mine was a dusty pink with a floral border and a white iron daybed (with trundle!), my baby sister’s was a brighter pink with a white spindle bed and my middle sister had a pale purple room with a white wicker headboard and matching wicker desk and chair. Every time I see wicker furniture, I’m transported back to those rooms. But this furniture from Australian company The Family Love Tree has a decidedly modern take. Designer/stylist Katie Graham’s furniture is inspired by both her tropical second honeymoon in Bali and her ’70s childhood surrounded by handcrafted screens, macramé hangers and funky rattan furniture. She pairs her furniture with bright fabrics — vintage saris from India and modern botanicals work hand-in-hand. The result is happy, sunny and fun. See it all here. — Amy Azzarito

Waldo Trommler Paint:

Designed by Reynolds and Reyner | Country: Ukraine
“Objective: In 2011 Reynolds and Reyner finished two huge projects redesigning international brands of paints. After that they were asked to develop a new visual identity for a small Finnish company which was planning to enter the U.S. market. Without the past, unlike the majority of existing brands in the segment, but believing in the future, the key to access the market was a package design. “We don’t just need – we must! stand out” – this phrase has become the basis at work on a new brand identity.
Process: How to create a brand that stands out? We need to find the design solution that hasn’t been used by any of the competitors. At the same time showing the main features of the company – friendliness, quality and innovation. WTP is not just a manufacturer of paints – it’s an assistant, always ready to help, suggest and defend from the hassles and problems. Repairs with WTP is simple, convenient and fast and this is what in it’s simple design.
Results: No doubt, WTP is the most friendly and remarkable brand of paints on the shelf now. WTP has no corporate colors – it have the corporate identity, common for each design element – from business cards to packaging. Every item is bright and memorable combination of colors and objects that all together form whole the entire brand. The next step is to prove that the product is as high quality as its outer shell. But this is another story.”

AWESOME. A. Heirloom- from enormouschampion : making stuff in brooklyn by enormouschampion

A. Heirloom:

A.Heirloom logotype & packaging

We worked with the wonderful couple behind A.Heirloom to create a new logotype and packaging for their widely popular state shaped cutting boards.

Full box & detail

The challenge with the packaging was to develop a single box design that could house all the different shaped boards. The solution was to have a periodic table of state shapes. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and finished results.
