The Design

About Ucon Garrafa de Água Mineral

Ucon é um design de garrafa para água mineral natural. A parte superior da garrafa adota a pedra como principal símbolo visual, enquanto a parte inferior utiliza uma forma de minério facetada, baseada numa superfície triangular paramétrica. As duas partes criam contraste e mantêm-se harmoniosas como um todo. As arestas cortadas são mantidas suaves para proporcionar um manuseio confortável. O rótulo é impresso com tinta à base de água, para reduzir as emissões do processo de impressão, e um filme perolado revela texturas de rocha negra, pontos brancos e listras douradas. A garrafa mede 64 por 64 por 220 milímetros.
