About Meandre Hajuvesipullo, Hajuveden pakkaus

Meandre on pullo- ja pakkausmuotoilu, joka on suunniteltu luonnollisten hajuvesien tuotemerkille. Nimi tulee ranskankielisestä sanasta, joka tarkoittaa joen mutkia. Muotoilun tavoitteena on tarjota mukaansatempaava kokemus vaeltamisesta metsässä. Korkki seuraa taipuvan oksan muotoa, ja pullo on valmistettu pohjoisamerikkalaisesta saarnipuusta, joka on muotoiltu puuntaipumisprosessilla. Informaatiokortissa on valokuva ja kuvaus ranskalaisesta maalaismetsästä, joka inspiroi tuoksua. Tuoksussa käytetään ainoastaan luonnollisia, puumaisia tuoksunuotteja.

Unique Properties: The packaging system of the méandre is mainly focus on creating an immersive experience for customers to bring them wandering in forest with the footprints. The cap design reflects the image of natural shape with its bending branch. All stone-made bottle is an important representation of the beauty of nature. With the photo and description on the information card, users can picture the exact moment that the perfumer experience back in that little French rural forest. No matter where the customers live their lives, the méandre can bring them to the verdant forest immediately not only with the scent but with the whole packaging experience design.

Production Technology: All the graphics were made in Adobe Illustrator to remain the vector quality.

The bottle design uses Rhino to build it and choose a wood bending process with North American walnut.
Design Challenge: The visual translation of natural elements and brand image needs to find a balanced and creative point.The bottle package design is an innovative design with a complex structure, and the machining qualification rate is the biggest challenge encountered by this project.
Research: The objective starts from brand experience, brand personality and character definition, target audience. The experience defined – a journey in the forest with footmarks. Méandre is elegant, natural and chic. Thorough research of the history of perfume package design is conducted before concept development. Compared to other graphic design projects, I conducted way more user interviews and workshops on méandre due to its genuine quality of heavy user/customer interaction. It was a very interesting experience for me to deeply co-create concepts and content with users.
Inspiration: The brand personality and design was inspired by the French word "méandre", which means "curves of a river." Notes of this fragrance last longer with experiencers, which form a subtle hint haunted with them. The design translated the experience into an immersive journey with natural and woody notes. Moreover, the package delivers a sustainable design concept. The main purpose of this project is to represent the experience of forest wandering.
Project Duration: The project started in 2020 and finished in 2021.
Operation Flow: Méandre is a natural perfume brand. The fragrance profile is based on the natural, woody notes to give users an experience and feeling that they are walking in the forest, thus only natural scents were selected as the ingredients.
