The bulk of the process centered on iterative development of the bottle through 3D printing. I went through multiple versions, refining each one to create an object that felt seamless, both in form and in hand. For the label, I experimented with different paper types and ultimately chose rice paper for its delicate texture, echoing the bottle’s airy feel, and to work in combination with the proposed wood and stone.
The identity for the brand was born from a hiking trip I took with friends on my birthday. I had hoped to forage juniper along the way, and after a long ascent, we reached the peak only to be greeted by a juniper.
To showcase airiness, I explored the logo design through India ink.
