I was recently struck by this packaging design, not just for its amazingly clean simplicity, but for the total brand commitment to quality and purity that it embodies. With clear glass from top to bottom, the containers, unprinted and un-engraved, claim nothing, conceal nothing, revealing only their contents in full view, from all angles. In this brand, there is no room for waxed, oiled, styled, studio-lit fruit in a digital montage.
A simple paper label, in turn, lists plainly and legibly the ingredient breakdown, which is primarily fruit and secondarily sugar. What could more plainly communicate the purity of the product, and the brand's commitement to this purity? In a final gesture of authenticity, the label includes check boxes for juice, preserve, or confit, which appear to be hand-checked.
The packaging design is part of a brand design by Atipus, Barcelona.

Inspired by the adventures in what many consider to be the first Russian Adventure Novel, Predki Kalimerosa: Aleksandr Filippovich Makedonskii, wherein the narrator travels to Ancient Greece with a travel device and voyages with Alexander the Great, this book-turned art piece features gold leaf, copper, clock gears, a glass lens, and a piano hinge, all conspicuously assembled to hide a secret feature in the spine. To top it off, artist Elizabeth Beronick Sheets has included original watercolor illustrations that fold-out, as part of this very tactile, imagination-inducing piece. This is beyond book design. The appropirately titled one-of-a-kind Time Machine can be teleshipped to its one lucky owner via The Odd Luminary—lucky indeed will its owner be.
