RESEARCH ABSTRACT: First research has been made by Ferrero on customers in order to understand needs. This highlighted the need for a premium glass packaging in out of home market. MrSmith Studio, after research on production techniques on benchmark, developed several concepts. Four of this concept were tested in a research on targeted customers and the selected concept has been then engineered and produced in collaboration with Verallia's and Ferrero's packaging units.
CHALLENGE: Estathe is a very well known brand in Italy and its Brick (the historical package) is almost an icon. Therefore the main challenge has been designing a concept that was at the same time respectful of the icon, but innovative and modern.
