Qubic Store Packaging

Casey Ng — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:35:23 +0000

The Qubic Store located in Auckland, New Zealand is an avant-garde fashion store that aims to inspire and excite consumers in ways similar to leading retail icons such as Dover Street Market, Colette and United Arrows.

This year Qubic has embraced the ‘recycle and reuse’ philosophy, fitting out its store with a range of everyday items and materials used in engaging new ways. In addition to also provide the store with a unique and quirky look, this approach subtly reminds consumers that even the simple things seen in a fresh way can be objects of delight. It is this theme that has inspired the development of a range of packaging, specifically intended to promote Qubics innovative brand identity.
The two forms of packaging take their inspiration in part from the Japanese tradition of gift wrapping, where the elegance, simplicity and sheer artistry of the packaging provides the recipient with an experience at least equal to that of the gift itself.

‘The Handle’ has been specifically designed to accommodate garments of more or less any size. The purchase is folded inside selected wrapping paper and ‘The Handle’ is attached using self adhesive panels. In conjunction with a second component ‘The Handle’ can be adapted to carry shoe boxes of various sizes. A carefully configured strip of card is folded around and over the shoebox and secured with “The Handle”. This provides consistent branding whilst allowing the consumer to ‘show off’ their new purchase. The Handle is perforated across the top, so the package can be opened easily via ripping, similar to the traditional style of gift opening.

Only environmentally friendly materials are used – recycled cardboard, water-based inks and 3M’s re-pulpable adhesive tape; all of which can be safely included in household recycling.

Furthermore, this system provides a uniquely flexible approach to packaging. It reflects Qubic’s innovative brand, avoids the need to purchase a variety of different sizes of carrier bags, it is biodegradable and is completely graphically adaptable.

Rubens — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 21:04:04 +0000

Back to Basics is a project by Zim & Zou, a french designers duo based in Nancy, France. For their graphic design projects they use a lot of paper and materials to create compositions which are both abstract and real, something plain as a typography poster gets a real depth with the use of cutouts and 3D lettering, nicely photographed.

In this project they remade with colored paper famous objects from a recent past, respecting proportions and sizes of each element. One year of work and the project is still a work in progress.
