Production Technology
Packaging Design, Brand Identity, Brand Creation
Glass bottle. The cap is a wooden closure with bamboo. The labels were screen printed, with a combination of gold foil stamping on the neck.
Design Challenge
The experimental batch of rum is a new part of the production of Blue Lagoon distillery. It is not common for New Caledonia to produce rum, so we had to discuss a lot with our client as to understand the benefits and the specialty of this kind of rum, in order to provide a solution that attire the customer attention and help them to gain part of the already competitive market.
Research
This design comes from a detailed observation of the manufacturer identification.
Inspiration
The inspiration came from the traditional beliefs and culture, of the local community of Kanak people, and their efforts related to environmental protection and conservation of the tropical forest and lagoon that surrounds the islands.

The label design that we created takes people back in a time of discoveries, legends, and adventures.
The bird living in the Enchanted Forest is a symbol of joy - a celebration of life. The color of the bottle reflects the blue shades of the famous lagoon that surrounds the Enchanted Forest and gives a sensation of freshness. Dive deep into the historical roots of the Enchanted forest and his legendary spiritual drink.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2020 and finished at the end of May, in Noumea, New Caledonia.
Operation Flow
It's a simple normal functioning alcoholic glass bottle. There's no special function to it.
