The Design

About Figura Branding, Verpakkingsontwerp

Figura is een branding- en verpakkingsontwerp voor een reeks mediterrane delicatessen, waaronder vijgencakejes, chocolaatjes en olijfoliën. De identiteit is opgebouwd rond een vijgenicoon die is gestileerd als een luchtballon, een verwijzing naar reizen en naar de mediterrane wortels van de oprichter van het merk. Gouden, paarse en groene tinten vertegenwoordigen de belangrijkste ingrediënten. Patronen van vijgenbladeren, golven en visschubben doen denken aan de Middellandse Zee. De etiketten en papieren verpakkingen zijn gedrukt in Pantone-kleuren op Fedrigoni-papier, met toegevoegd bladgoud. Het ontwerp introduceert de producten op de Aziatische markt.

Production Technology: High-quality printing from Pantone colors on Fedrigoni paper, both for labels and paper packaging. Addition of gold foil.
Design Challenge: The design of Figura's brand and packaging was a result of an in-depth process that included the discovery of client's drivers and company culture. Several challenges were identified: Design and packaging had to tell a story of client's roots and her link to the Mediterranean culture. Branding had to speak towards the Asian target and end-user. Brand packaging had to be designed using ecological and affordable materials yet having a look and feel that translates high quality of the product.
Research: After initial consultations, two workshops were held with the client. The first one goal was to discovered key drivers behind the brand, brand’s unique story, philosophy, personality, target market and benchmark. The second workshop was held to present the client with three different brand personality mood boards helping the client to choose a branding direction that is aligned with the brand's unique market positioning. Design was prototyped and tested before creating the final identity.
Inspiration: Figura products are inspired by the Mediterranean. So is the design of Figura's brand and product. Born out of the wish to bring the exotic product to the Asian market, Figura packaging reflects the hues, tones, and textures of the Mediterranean. Figura's founder traveled the world telling the story of her place of birth, this was the main inspiration for the brand and its design. The air balloon icon is telling the story of her voyage, her love for the Mediterranean, its cuisine and lifestyle.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2020 and finished in April 2021 in Croatia and Hong Kong.
Operation Flow: Figura's brand identity is used to communicate Mediterranean philosophy and lifestyle. This approach is differentiating products from competitors in the Asian market. Branding and packaging communicate these elements to clients and evokes in them a sense of travel to Europe in the search for traditional products and taste. Product packaging is designed as a primary advertising mechanism and aligned with the target’s expectations.
