About Aenaon Caixa Cosmètica

Aenaon és una caixa cosmètica dissenyada perquè la llum travessi l'embalatge i el producte del seu interior. La caixa està feta de paper Rives Sensation Mat de 370 grams amb certificació FSC. L'exterior s'imprimeix en negre amb un patró monocrom abstracte i es grava en relleu a totes les cares. Les obertures retallades creen transparència i claredat. A l'interior, unes bases de paper compost formen un conjunt de formes que mantenen el producte al seu lloc. Cada caixa es munta a mà, amb una atenció especial a les bases interiors. Se'n van produir dues mides, i el paper es pot reciclar després d'obrir-lo.

Unique Properties: This packaging mechanical and cutting drawings design based with emphasis on the clarity of light through the container creating a complex interior design to hold the product using composite bases with paper as the main material. Exterior of the box an abstract monochrome print and multiple embossments on all sides of the box. The production of the box is done with a paper Rives sensation mat 370gr and all the production has FSC certification. The construction of the box is done by hand with great care and especially on the inner bases where if they do not close properly they will not embrace the product.
Dimensions & Packaging: Box A has external dimensions 11.5 x 11.5 x 8. Box B has dimensions, 8 x 17 x 5. Both boxes have been produced with special paper Rives Sensation Mat 370g and is needed to make their composition by hand for both exterior & interior. Externally they were printed in black and emboss technic were made on all sides.
Tags: Unique, handmade, modern, luxurious, recyclable
Production Technology: Typography, crafts and box drawing techniques. The main element is the passage of light through the box and the product. Minimal prints in black and big embossed round the box.
Design Challenge: The most difficult part of the design of the mechanical and cutting drawings was the shapes of the containers that I had to pull out and follow so that they were not limited even inside the box. I decided to make the box transparent so that the light passes through and there is a transparency and a clarity. All this had to be done with paper that does not burden the environment and can be recycled after opening.
Research: My client's command is simple: "to create a unique box that will be sold all over the world". It was a blank canvas and I had to find a way to really develop the product in detail so that it would be released.
My goal was to create an aesthetic journey and an exciting experience that touches all the senses of the consumer.
Inspiration: In the mechanical and cutting drawings design of the boxes I had to let the light pass through the product and create a support base inside using paper that absorbs and roasts the contents. A perpetual (Aenaon in Greek) motion of light and shapes.
Project Duration: The design of the boxes started in 2020 and their production took place in 2021. It took a lot of samples and detailed design to achieve the desired result.
Operation Flow: The outer box as a whole impresses with its size and the embose letters give character but also information that through the cutting and the transparency increases the feeling of light and the energy of the customer. The inside of the box combines surprise and creation with its opening, forming a puzzle of shapes. When the consumer opens the box, he discovers the insistence on detail.
