@LOG-ON ToGather @ Fashion Walk and Festival Walk
A Platform; where makers, designers, and consumers from across the globe find inspiration, connect, and celebrate!
Rather than the entry systems used by conventional awards, our entries are collected and invited by EVERYONE: our team, winners, judges, and consumers. A panel of judges formed by some of today’s most influential figures in the industry, dedicate themselves to assess the packaging designs that are submitted to Topawards Asia.
We believe this unique process allows us to introduce and highlight designs that are not usually recognized or accepted by other awards. By sharing these works, we aim to contribute to the future of package design creativity.
weather
weather - bingo kasuri stole is based on the brand concept: a stole for everyday use for all season. This comfortable, multi-functional product is made with bingo kasuri: a traditional dyed woven fabric from Hiroshima prefecture.
Incorporating the product action of “wrapping” into the packaging design. The form or shape is not only eye-catching or fun to hold, but actually versatile and functional: it can be placed vertically or horizontally, and it can be stacked with consideration of limited store space.
This traditional textile is still not widely known, even in our middle-age generation target users. We would like to give a role to the package as a starting point that bring more people to know about bingo kasuri. The packaging material uses paper and cotton yarn that suitable as it complements the product made of organic cotton and natural dyes.
While it has a clean yet attractive functionality, we hope that customers will have a special feeling or pleasure buying the product or gifting it to someone else.
BOTCHAN
More playfulness in men’s cosmetics. Inspired by the idea of “enjoy skincare more easily and lightly”, we used colorful colors and vibrant drawings to express the free, delicate and creative spirit of the contemporary brand: BOTCHAN. It is designed with a color scheme that conveys the brand’s view even with just one product. It also, like a rainbow gradation, gives balance to the whole series when all products are lined together. The drawing conveys innocence and it is a symbol for enjoying skincare. In pursuit of a new chic lifestyle, we have incorporated our design to aim to create products that make people’s lives more creative and unique.
Tempo
The tempo mobile series is a new form of product that approaches time and space. Created as a result of architects and designers tackling mass and balance; each piece of the mobiles are carefully put together by hand so as to not impair the balance.
To communicate tempo as a brand with an architectural and academic concept, gray cardboard often used for structures such as boxes were utilised, eliminating all ornamentation and allowing only the texture of the paper to remain. It's as if the square box was a concrete block or an inorganic stone. Part of the mobile peeks through the modest window, revealing the epilogue of the spatial product that will tell its tale very soon. This is what we aimed for in this package.
WASARA
WASARA is a series of paper tableware that when holding a plate, its form, texture and ease of use will make one smile, which also underlies the legacy of the Japanese aesthetic and value sense.
Though WASARA can be used only once, it is designed to minimize the environmental burden, by using reed pulp and bagasse, that is, sugarcane waste for its materials. Reeds have strong life force and are in no danger of extinction, whereas bagasse is perfect for paper material, and in the end they will return and decompose into the soil. WASARA is an eco-friendly tableware brand that applies natural practice of waste reduction, which compliments with spiritual richness.
The tableware fits comfortably in the hands with a sense of stability. WASARA ‘s form and texture make it distinct from other disposable ware. Selecting tableware that best suits each ingredient or dish is a common practice for Japanese. Enjoying meals with vision as well as taste, sensing seasons with ingredients with plates, WASARA adds beauty to a casual gathering.
