The Design

About Terra Oliva Umbúðir

Þetta er sérhönnuð ólífuolíu leirflaska. Hugmyndin á bakvið það er að vera mjög glæsileg og vera endurnotuð af notendum. Valið var leirefni til að benda á uppruna þessarar blessuðu vöru, krítverska jarðvegsins. Landið sem gefur sérstakt bragð og eiginleika þessarar vöru. Þessar umbúðir geta komið í tveimur valkostum. Einn með aðeins lógóinu að framan og hliðartáknunum eingöngu og ásamt litlum siðareglum festum með bandi á hálsinum á flöskunni, sem gerir hana að skrautlegu skraut. Eða með öllum upplýsingum eins og er á myndunum.

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.

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.
