The Design

About All Mies Packaging Polshorlogeverpakking

All Mies is een verpakkingsontwerp voor polshorloges. De doos is opgebouwd uit een reeks kartonnen lagen met een uitsparing voor het horloge in het midden, waar het uurwerk rust. Een dun rubberen bandje ligt in kleine inkepingen en houdt de lagen bijeen. Een buitenhoes omsluit de kern en is gegraveerd met de merkidentiteit. De hoes kan worden afgeschoven of geopend via een lipje aan de achterkant. Wanneer het rubberen bandje wordt verwijderd, komen de lagen los en wordt het horloge zichtbaar. De gelaagde vorm is geïnspireerd op topografische modellen die worden gebruikt in het maken van maquettes.

Unique Properties
The All Mies box translates the simplicity of the watch design into a minimal and yet bold packaging. Embracing the same style found on the timepieces, the packaging is carefully designed to create an artful experience from beginning to end. The concept relies on a series of different layers that are tightly fit together as pieces of a puzzle waiting to slowly unveil the final product inside.
Dimensions & Packaging
Width 2-3/4" x Depth 5/8" x Height 11"

Production Technology
The final design uses a series of cardstock layers that feature a timepiece cutout in the center where the main product is supposed to sit. These layers are bundled together by a thin rubber band that rests on small notches. The main core is then enclosed by a final cover that engraves the brand identity of the product and company.
Design Challenge
As the concept of a small startup, the biggest challenge was to achieve a unique design packaging that was elegant and simple at an affordable price. By rejecting generic boxes we had to carefully study production processes and materials that would allow us to achieve a custom design with financial constraints.
Research
The All Mies brand was established following the Miesian style. Every product and packaging are created to be simple and bold by embracing clean lines and a minimalist approach. All designs are generated through the understanding of its function. Tying the functionality of a piece to the establishment of its design enables the whole concept to achieve a holistic approach.
Inspiration
The packaging is inspired on the art of model making: topographic models can be created to illustrate mass and shape through the use of a sequence of layers. The final design expands upon the architectural identity of the brand by creating a play between volumes and voids and lets form follow function.
Project Duration
October 2018 to January 2019. Los Angeles/CA, USA
Operation Flow
When completely enclosed, the packaging can be opened by either sliding the core out of the cover or opening the cover from the back tab. Once the cover is removed, the main core is untied by removing the rubber band. Once the rubber band is removed, the main core becomes a series of independent layers that reveals that watch at its center.
