The Design

About Post Herbum Ambalaža

Cijelo bilje koje se uzgaja u Litvaniji postalo je inspiracija za stvaranje ekskluzivne ambalaže, kao i želja da se organski i rafinirani proizvod vizualno izrazi. Neobičan i istovremeno jednostavan oblik trokuta omogućava otkrivanje jednostavnog proizvoda u zanimljivijem pakovanju. Mliječno bijela i smeđa boja označavaju ekologiju i prirodnost bilja. Vitka ilustracija i suzdržanost u stilu naglašava vrijednost bilja koje se prikupljaju ručno. Nježno i precizno kao i sam krhki proizvod.
