Porto is a city in northwest Portugal known for its stately bridges and port wine production. Its name comes from the Portuguese Porto which means port.
The project shows a visual representation of the city and its streets. It is the graphic synthesis of the city of Porto. The different designs are inspired by specific "azulejos" found around the streets of Porto. The real street/avenue name is on the front of each bottle alongside with the GPS coordinates (in case you want to admire the original art).
The main four colors used to differentiate the bottles were selected from the city coat of arms, plus the shades of blue that are used in the traditional "azulejos".
What do Bessermachen Design Studio and Hans Christian Andersen have in common? The short answer is that we both share a passion for a great story. A great story told in words, pictures and graphics. A great story interpreted in 9 wonderful, fairy-tale bars of chocolate.
The goal
Bessermachen’s goal was to reinterpret the Hans Christian universe, giving it a totally new slant in design and chocolate. But we wanted more than that, because we wanted to make it up to date and relevant. Not because we wished in any way to interfere with a unique piece of cultural history, but because the fairy tales are just as meaningful and relevant today as when they were written. Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales are all about betrayal, greed, overweening ambition and love. When looked at through contemporary eyes, these themes still captivate and fascinate us.
The inspiration
We drew our inspiration for both the design and the chocolate from the fairy tales, which have so much to offer. In many respects, they represent an open book when it comes to understanding the very essence of Denmark. So this was a natural starting point when it came to merging design tradition with excellent ingredients.
The seduction
But Bessermachen also wanted to be seductive, obviously via a highly expressive packaging design. We wanted to create a premium look to match the premium chocolate, which Konnerup represents. What’s more, to put the finishing touch to this ultimate experience, the illustration on each bar of chocolate was based on a Hans Christian Andersen paper-cut, interpreted by Niels Ditlev. You see, once upon a time there was a wise man, who said: “Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.” Not to mention a little piece of chocolate.

Honey is present in each religion, each country, it is universal since antiquity and it has many symbolic. There is the symbolic of the sun, described by this quote :
«Symbole solaire par excellence, comme quintessence végétale de la lumière exaltée dans les fleurs».
Honey has many reflects, it’s a precious essence, like a unique jewel or a gemstone. Honey becomes a product of an inestimable quality thanks to every species that compose the production chain (vegetable, animal and human) and mostly thanks to the achievement of the bees. So our concept is all about unique jewel, light, reflects etc.. Our brand philosophy is « Each country owns an inestimable honey, his own jewel »
About the name, we choose « quintessence ». Quintessence means « the essence of a thing in its purest and most concentrated form ». This name matches our concept perfectly. It’s also « In ancient and medieval philosophy, the fifth and highest essence after the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water, though to be the substance of the heavenly bodies and latent in all things.
Our packaging is an interlocking of the three parts of the key system to the production of honey and its balance. These three parts (so these two parts and the bottle) represent the vegetal, the animal and the human. Interlocking echoes to the structure of the honey bees' hive. These tree elements, parts cannot work independently to create honey. So as we just told you, the square is an important element. We make our packaging around the bottle to have like a window, to see the light through the jar of honey. First the customer, take the principal pack of his holster. Then he opens the packaging like a revisited jewelry box and discovered the honey bottle. We wanted a packaging with a touch of wonder. For the cap, it’s allude to the hive but in more abstract way.
This concept is for those who love traveling. Each fragrance is dedicated to a particular city.
The flacon is inspired by a typical flask or travel bottle.
Changing the view. Boutinot wine Montevista receives an original new look courtesy of Biles Hendry.
Leading UK wine maker and importer Boutinot asked Biles Hendry to rebrand their Montevista range, a selection of Chilean wines comprising a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Rosé Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a Carmenère.
The name literally means ‘mountain view’ and the brief was to reinvigorate the range, adding personality and capturing the spirit of Chile.
Anthony Biles, Principal and Creative Director commented: ‘Clichés can create very engaging communication, provided you reinvest in them and make them your own. We didn’t want to avoid the obvious here; the name created an expectation to see a mountain, however we created a twist. In Chile, we concluded that the best view of the Andes is reserved for the majestic condor and for the condor alone. Our label design endeavours to capture this.’
At first glance the name Montevista leads you to seeing a mist covered mountain. As the bottle rotates and more or the background is revealed on the integrated back label, the condor appears and the mountain becomes a detail of the condor’s outstretched wing. The design is a trompe l’oeil: at once the dramatic view of a mountain as seen by a condor, and the condor itself.
The new labels appeared on the Montevista wines in December and are available throughout the UK in wine specialists, restaurants and through online stores, retailing at around £7.
B&B studio creates green packaging for Soaper Duper which launched exclusively in Liberty
Soaper Duper, a new clean and green bath and body range founded by Marcia Kilgore – the entrepreneur behind Bliss Spa, Fit Flop and Soap & Glory – has launched in Liberty with environmentally friendly packaging by B&B studio.
The range uses the best naturally derived ingredients and is free from parabens, sulphates, phthalates, mineral oil and colourants, amongst others, as well as avoiding any ingredients that can cause ocean contamination. In a category more usually associated with style over substance, the Soaper Duper brand, product and packaging takes a unique approach, finding beauty within its commitment to naturalness, goodness and doing good.
Going green
A key requirement from the outset was to make the packaging as environmentally friendly as possible, so that it would live up to the brand positioning and design. B&B embraced this challenge and collaborated with the client and suppliers to develop packaging using high levels of recycled plastics, rather than virgin materials.
During the design process, a number of bottle colours were explored, but apple green, which had been used from the beginning, won through. The green reflects the products’ natural credentials and provides an ideal canvas for the vibrant graphics to communicate to the consumer. The Soaper Duper green is a bespoke colour and B&B worked with the suppliers to align the colour when printed across various print processes with the green of the physical packaging.
Good for the environment
The green HDPE bottles are made from 100 per cent post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR). Most of this material is made up from recycled milk bottles and recycled green bottle tops, which give the plastic a green tint.
Tubes have a maximum of 55 per cent recycled plastic content because any higher and the tube starts to crinkle and is harder to squeeze. Whilst the jars are currently virgin PP, they are currently all on test in PIR with the intention of phasing in PIR as soon as possible.
Graham Hawkins, Production Director, B&B studio, says: “This approach to packaging design leads to fewer plastics being sent to landfill, helps to support the recycling infrastructure and uses less energy, producing a lower carbon footprint than using virgin plastics. “As Soaper Duper is a natural and ethical brand, the packaging needed to reflect this. It leads the way with the growing trend in personal care for natural brands to reduce their impact on the environment and for ethical brands which enable consumers to give a little back by buying into them.”
The Soaper Duper range starts at £6.00 rrp. The brand supports Water Aid and Clean the World to bring soap and water to communities that need it.
Acai Pop was created for those, who like myself are always on the move whilst constantly striving to find the perfect work life balance without neglecting nutrition or health. With the Acai Pop tag line 'Add a pop of colour to brighten an early morning' in mind, the design reflects the vibrancy of each ingredient.
The hand drawn logo uses elements from the illustration of the Acai berries to create its form, whilst also looking as though it will pop itself.
