The Design

About Odaya Home El Embalaje

El empaque de Odaya Home necesitaba reflejar la artesanía del encaje cosido a mano utilizado y el valor simbólico de los adornos. La figura de un pavo real, el elemento central de la primera colección Care and Love de Odaya Home, es un guardián tradicional del hogar. El diseño del empaque desarrolló la imagen del pavo real en una fina telaraña dorada de plumas, recordando la elaboración del encaje. La historia de la marca se cuenta en el interior de la tapa de la caja de regalo, mientras que el delicado papel de seda con el eslogan de la marca "Perteneces y este es tu hogar, Odaya Home" proporciona una tierna envoltura para la fina tela de satén de algodón del interior.

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.

Production Technology: Paper boxes with gold foil stamped logo on the top.

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.
