The Design

About Tongue-Bongue Candy Package

The wish was to create a package for some kind of food. When developing packaging, it is most important to be unpredictable. Since there are many stereotypical solutions on the market, something else should be sought, one should move away from the templates. And attention was paid on eating process itself such as taking and putting food in the mouth. This was a background to idea. People use the tongue to suck all sorts of sweets. Tongue-shaped lollipops create a surreal metaphor "tongue on (human) tongue".

The wish was to create a package for some kind of food. Attention was paid on eating process itself such as taking and putting food in the mouth. This was a background to idea.

What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

The packages that are in the store are mostly standard (square, rectangular), and do not lure to make a spontaneous buy. Idea was to make an offer for a new version of packaging that one wants to support in hands, study and buy.

Design Challenge
Most difficult was to understand how to transport this package to shops and for whom this package can be, since the upper part cannot be wrinkled. Solution was that the packaging works as a gift or sells in luxury demand, especially since it is going by hand.
Research
The packages that are in the store are mostly standard (square, rectangular), and do not lure to make a spontaneous buy. Idea was to make an offer for a new version of packaging that one wants to support in hands, study and buy.
Inspiration
The wish was to create a package for some kind of food. Attention was paid on eating process itself such as taking and putting food in the mouth. This was a background to idea.
Project Duration
Project was made for German package competition, started in Moscow, February-April 2017.
Operation Flow
The tongue starts from the back of the box, covers the opening area of the box (works as an additional protection against opening), and "closes" through a slot in the mouth. It turns out into box-mouth in which lay candy-tongues.
