About Kolompeh Pastry Emballage

Kolompeh er et emballagedesign til traditionelle Kerman-bagværk, der er fyldt med dadler og sødet med drue-sirup. Æsken er lavet af pap belagt med vandbaserede materialer for at holde emballagen miljøvenlig. Illustrationer dækker overfladerne og viser figurer inspireret af Kermans forfædre med lange overskæg og tøj dekoreret med persiske mønstre. Guld og levende trykte farver antyder kvalitet, og hver farve refererer til en smag. Bagværket er arrangeret indeni på fødevaregodkendt voksfarveret papir. Designet forbinder lokal kunst med det moderne marked.
