Tongue-Bongue Candy Package

Tongue-Bongue Candy Package is an innovative and surreal packaging design concept that revolutionizes the traditional approach to confectionery packaging through its distinctive anthropomorphic features and interactive elements. Created by German designer Victoria Ax, this avant-garde packaging solution challenges conventional market standards by incorporating a unique tongue-shaped element that serves both functional and metaphorical purposes. The design, measuring 50 x 50 x 70 mm when assembled, employs a clever mechanical structure where a paper tongue extends from the back of the box, covers the opening area providing additional security, and threads through a slot in the mouth-like aperture, creating a visually striking box-mouth configuration that houses tongue-shaped candies. This design creates a compelling visual and conceptual paradox through its tongue on tongue metaphor, making it particularly suitable for luxury market segments and gift-giving occasions. The packaging's unconventional form factor deliberately moves away from stereotypical rectangular solutions, encouraging spontaneous purchases through its engaging and playful design. The project, which earned a Bronze A' Design Award in the Packaging Design Category, demonstrates exceptional creativity in addressing the challenge of creating memorable food packaging while maintaining functional practicality. The design's success lies in its ability to transform the mundane act of consuming candy into an artistic statement, while simultaneously solving practical concerns regarding transport and market positioning through its premium positioning and hand-delivery approach.
