The effect is a brand and packaging that stands out without upsetting, maintaining its gracefulness - a careful balance required to honor the Banquine brand and what it stands for.
Inspiration
Banquine candles are an extravagant sensorium of sound, smell and color, inspired by Philip Astley, the father of the modern circus, where high-quality candles played a surprising vital role in the experience. The brand design closely aligns with Banquine’s luxurious line of candles, while also hinting at the brand’s origin story. The use of strong vibrant colors and elegant textures is inspired by the sophisticated yet overwhelming circus experience.
