soy
naming, branding & packaging design
Hand-poured vegan scented candles.
A Barcelona based brand, experimenting with soy wax and organic essential oils to create longer lasting candles that burn cleaner with unique scent combinations that serve as a therapeutic tool to calm the senses.
Objectives:
Appeal to a conscious consumer. Communicate product quality and benefits. Design a product packaging with refilling/reusing capabilities.
naming
in search for a word that praised the naturality of the product and also connected the spiritual factor of the brand we found “soy” as it places the main ingredient front and center while having the connotation of “being” in the Spanish translation, linking the tangible with the spiritual.
concept
soy embraces a slow and regenerative lifestyle, so we chose a concept that portrayed this feeling in a graphic sense, from the movement of the main logo to the selection of the label’s main typeface it all embraces a melting property.
packaging
We chose a glass pot&lid, for it's heat resistance and it’s durability properties, as the end goal was to create a circular lifespan.
As for the labels we chose responsibly sourced and certified by the FSC coloured papers, which help us differentiate the scents while minimising the use of inks in production, it closes with a “belt design” closing in itself with use of minimum glue which makes reusing the pot easier.
