A premium look for an impeccably organic scented soy candle line. The idea was to break into higher-end retailers with a look that would stand up to the quality of the product, to be communicated through the product livery. Material selection and finishes are key to consumers' perceptions, from both an initial impression to a second more considered evaluation. The colours used are derived from the plants and herbs that make each of the fragrances. The illustrations have an ethereal quality, alluding to scent dissipating into the air as a candle burns.

Depot Principal Director Angela Spindler demonstrated an affinity for the unboxing experience from an early age. She kept all of her childhood toys in their original packaging to have a full brand moment every time she decided to play. During her 38 years in the design business, she has notched up almost 75,000 hours of design across four countries: England, Germany, New Zealand and Australia. She founded Depot in 2002, and her meticulous commitment to excellence has never wavered. On top of a busy schedule of client work, Angela has managed to gain a Master’s Degree in design from the College of Fine Art, Sydney. She has guest lectured at design schools both here in Australia and Germany, and was a packaging design moderator for Wintec, New Zealand. For the past 5 years, she has been a Jury Member for the A’Design Awards, Como Italy. In 2022, she was awarded Designer of the Year by the International Association of Designers.
