Production Technology

We created Shade Gray, our signature brand palette, through more than 200 color matching runs and more than 50 physical samples of materials of varying textures, including aluminum, plastic, paper, and fabric. The caps for the facial cleanser and skin toner are double-layered with a hard ABS exterior and soft PP interior for improved texture and fit, with a grained surface and foil stamping with an engraved symbol on top.

Design Challenge

We explored Anthroposophie to understand the meditative and cosmic consciousness. We discussed how the planets interlock as one to nurture us. We looked at the life force that interlocks the universe and created a symbol that would represent this dynamic, organic life force. Inspired by the cosmos, Shade Gray resides quietly and is a companion any anyone's lifestyle. We constructed and designed a high quality and consistent vision for the brand.

Research

We looked at the development of human behavior and culture from a sociological perspective and sought to find the cultural impulses needed for the future. Modern people suffer from mental exhaustion and isolation. We saw a need for a skincare brand with a new vision to fill the void deep healing through oneness from meditative experiences. Through these reflections, a distinctive identity for a skincare brand was born, inspired by the spirit's mystical, cosmic, and meditative experiences.

Inspiration

People are subject to mental exhaustion due to our modern stressful society. Individualistic values have isolated our spirits, forcing us to live in a state of mind like walking on a tightrope. We wanted to build a brand inspired by the cosmic oneness that comes from spiritual and meditative experiences to bring deep healing to people, just as the sun and moon shine on us as equals, just as Mother Earth nurtures us.

Project Duration

It started in Nagoya in October 2020 and finished in April 2022. The brand was announced at Beauty World Japan in Tokyo in May 2022.

Operation Flow

The specially structured screw nozzle of the facial cleanser ejects an ideal dense foam with a single push, which maintains elasticity for a long time and reduces skin irritation from friction. The eyelash beauty serum uses an innovative airless container that is preservative-free and hygienic. Even the fitting inside the cap, which normally receives little attention, is beautifully designed in a crescent shape to enhance the brand.
