The Design

About Odaya Home Emballage

Odaya Home-emballage skal afspejle håndværket af de anvendte håndsyede blonder og den symbolske værdi af ornamenterne. Figuren af en påfugl, kerneelementet i Odaya Homes første Care and Love Collection, er en traditionel vogter af hjemmet. Emballagedesignet udviklede påfuglebilledet til et fint gyldent spind af fjer, der minder om selve blondefremstillingen. Mærkehistorien fortælles på indersiden af gaveæskens låg, mens delikat silkepapir med mærkets slogan "Du hører til og det er hjemme, Odaya Home" giver en blød indpakning til det fine bomuldssatinstof indeni.

Unique Properties: The objective was to create packaging that evokes centuries-old traditions in fine needlework and the strong symbolism of textile ornaments, used by generations of women in every home, town, and country. Elegant and graceful, handcrafted designs on lace and woven fabrics of exquisite quality have been the true luxury, a mark of status with a story to tell. Similar to the handcrafted textile product contained in it, the packaging needed to convey a sense of uniqueness and timelessness, craftsmanship through impeccable details.

Design Challenge: The challenge was to create packaging that evoke cultural and traditional heritage and at the same time modern life and unforgettable interiors, so the product could stand out and appeal to the target audience to bring it home.
By using the peacock, Odaya Home succeeded in conveying an imposing brand image as one of the leading artisanal bed linen companies.
Research: The design is based on a deep study of European heritage ornaments and craftsmanship techniques in the textile arts. The research included a review of printed archives in libraries, museums, journal reviews, and artists' homes. Recreating heritage symbols, breathing life into centuries-old techniques, and empowering local artisans were the main factors taken into consideration during the phase of research and design.
Inspiration: The packaging is part of a branding project for an artisanal bed linen company. In order to accentuate the beauty of the handcrafted product themselves, the box packaging was decided to be in white color.
The peacock, a bird admired for its beauty, is a heritage symbol of core family values. Recreated in gold foil, the peacock is given the aura of eternal beauty and value, a brand illustration and symbol, but also the inspiration behind Odaya’s iconic first textile collection, Care and Love.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2022 and finished in March 2023, in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Operation Flow: The box could be reused to treasure memories, as letters, postcards, small collectibles objects, or as a
storage box.
