The Design

About Post Herbum Embalaža

Cela zelišča, gojena v Litvi, so postala navdih za ustvarjanje ekskluzivne embalaže, pa tudi želja po vizualnem izražanju organskega in rafiniranega izdelka. Nenavadna in hkrati preprosta oblika trikotnika omogoča razkrivanje preprostega izdelka v bolj zanimivi embalaži. Mlečno bele in rjave barve kažejo na ekologijo in naravnost zelišč. Vitke ilustracije in zadržanost v slogu poudarja vrednost zelišč, ki jih zbirajo ročno. Nežno in natančno kot sam krhek izdelek.
