Why
wouldn’t we use a different speciality of design process to bring innovating
solutions to packaging? From this point of view, fashion has similarities with
packaging. Like a pack, a cloth needs to protect, highlight and
communicate. How could a designer inspire himself from a fashion stylist’s
approach to tackle the issue of packaging with different solutions? With
“Créateur de Pack” (Packaging creator), Eric Mazodier gives an answer both
amazing and relevant.
As
far as fashion design is concerned, there is Haute Couture and Ready-to-wear. If
the former can innovate without financial or material limits, the latter inspire
itself from it, integrating economical and industrial constraints. Eric has
adopted this approach to create a rational « ready-to-wear » packaging
made after an « Haute Couture » one. By putting this idea into
practice for five very different objects – a light bulb, a watch, a sandwich, an
MP3 player, and a coffee cup – he has invented a very curious and relevant
improvement. And in order to remain in the spirit of a fashion show, he has
concluded his presentation with his « wedding dress », which veils
(and unveils) a magnum of Champagne !
