Elena Gamalova · CLIENT: ODAYA Home
Odaya Home packaging needed to reflect the craftsmanship of the handstitched lace used and the symbolic value of the ornaments. The figure of a peacock, the core element in Odaya Home’s first Care and Love Collection, is a traditional guardian of the home. The packaging design developed the peacock image into a fine golden web of feathers, reminiscing lace-making itself. The brand story is told on the inside of the lid of the gift box, while delicate tissue paper with the brand's slogan "You belong and this is home, Odaya Home" provides a tender wrap for the fine cotton sateen fabric inside.

- 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.

- 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. - 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. - Image Credits
