Interviews
Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
My design & naming inspiration came up by the ancient undisclosed worlds, iconic & mythological constructions as well as futuristic design buildings. The logo is carachterized by the strong A central letter that is the mark of arcAdia. The mark itself is linked up with the celtic "awen" glyph symbol that, also in the modernity, refers to the poetic & spitirual illumination.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
My main focus was to concept & design a bottle with a shape that could speak also to the fashion and luxury audience.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
My future plans for my arcAdia concept bottle are to spread up the project in order to get the concept known and find possible business & production opportunities.
