DESIGN NAME: Recreation Bondi Beach
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Natural Fragrances
INSPIRATION: The brand mark embodies female empowerment. The stylised R is inspired by the iconic image of the woman sleeve rolled up, from the WWII We Can Do It campaign.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The R, the visual shorthand for Recreation dominates the packaging as the brands hallmark of confidence. The infill of the mark, a subtle pink, blue and yellow graduation, echoes the twilight beach skies of Bondi.
With the bottle design we explored the intrinsic beauty of basic geometry. Arriving at a bottle that is a softened hexagon. The solid clear pedestal gives it visual gravitas. The vertical chime lines give the bottle a soft rhythm and the illusion that it is a much rounder shape.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The fragrances are activated via an atomizer. The smaller 10ml bottles are roll-on.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: October 2017-December 2018
Sydney, Australia
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Packaging Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The debossed aluminium cap sits flush against the bottles’ shoulder, assisting with optimising the overall proportions. The base is also debossed with the R as a point of unexpected discovery for the consumer.
The boxes are printed CMYK on uncoated stock, with two spot colours, spot gloss UV and an all over satin aqueous varnish. The spot gloss afforded a subtle glint that appears and disappears according to the angle at which the box is seen. Again, a subtle nod to the unique beach light as it dances across various surfaces.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Box dimensions: 125mm (H) x 102mm (W) x 62mm (D)
Bottle:73mm (H) x 52mm (W)
TAGS: Fragrance packaging, Natural fragrance packaging, Bespoke bottle, Branding and Packaging Design, Packaging Design, Branding Design, Form Design, Australian Packaging Design,
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The word mark uses rigorously even fine line typography that uses geometric shapes and clear definition.
An asymmetric layout has been purposefully used to give the packaging sufficient tension for the three visual elements to work both together and in isolation within the space. The vertical type describing the fragrance is through its orientation and font style given a unique visible position without it overshadowing the brand mark elements.
CHALLENGE: The manufacture of the bottle was the most challenging along with orbital printing on multiple surfaces that were not perfectly flat.
