Design Debate

Oh I love this brand, I just want to handle these bottles! A brave choice for this Greek food company, the spacing of the logo continually changes.  ODE comes from the ancient Greek meaning a lyrical stanza, the designers wanted that same kind of poetry and rhythm in their design. Treating the packaging like art, framing the product in innovative ways. The colour palette is earthy and vibrant paired with crisp white. A touch of gold, a little twit of wood some dense colour, lovely. A recent winner of the Dieline Packaging Awards . 

Isn't this lovely? This tranquil welcoming interior is the home of Australian author, photographer and designer Claire Lloyd and her British partner, artist Matthew Usmar. They live on the Greek island of Lesvos. I think they succeed in using just enough colour to soften the white walls and conjure that sea breeze. They also have a little guest house you can stay in and Claire has written a book about living in Greece.  I like the giant cushions which you could imagine dragging outside and lounging in the setting sun. Yep summer is nearly here!  See more at The Style Files .
