The Design

About Terra Oliva Embalaje

Se trata de una botella de arcilla de aceite de oliva diseñada a medida. La idea detrás de esto es ser muy elegante y que los usuarios puedan reutilizarlo. Se seleccionó material arcilloso para sugerir el origen de este bendito producto, la tierra cretense. La tierra que da el sabor y características especiales de este producto. Este embalaje puede venir en dos opciones. Uno con solo el logo al frente y solo los íconos laterales y acompañado de una pequeña etiqueta atada con una cuerda al cuello de la botella, convirtiéndola así en un adorno decorativo. O con todos los detalles tal cual en las fotos.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: This is a custom-designed olive oil clay bottle. The idea behind it is to be very elegant and to be reused by users. Clay material was selected in order to suggest the origin of this blessed product, the Cretan soil. The land that gives the special taste and characteristics of this product.
Dimensions & Packaging: The shape of the bottle helps to take as much space as possible when stored by the producer. So more bottles fit in less space.
Tags: Oilve Oil, packagin, design, re-usable
Production Technology: The brand has two distinctive elements given by its own name. TERRA - earth and OLIVA - olive which translates to Land of Olive. The brand was approached differently with simple modern lines that give memorable shapes.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was the high cost of this custom-made bottle and finding a Greek manufacturer for this.
Research: The research started with visual elements of Cycladic art, modern and ancient. After exploring many shapes of bottles this was the optimal design. The design process also contained some other design elements such as icons that embrace the brand.
Inspiration: The inspiration came from Cycladic art, which has minimal lines. Thus the bottle was designed in such a way to depict this minimalism.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2014 and took about 3 weeks for the design to be completed. This was done in Chania, Crete, Greece.
Operation Flow: The bottle is to be re-used as an elegant piece of kitchen utensil. The use is straightforward. There is a special notch on the top of the bottle in order to make olive oil flow easily without making a mess.
