Case Study 1.0 Pureology
After L'Oréal's purchase of Pureology, the brand came to us for creative redirection, rebranding and repackaging. For the main shampoo and conditioner bottle, they asked for a clearly innovative, modern and distinctive shape that clearly communicated the brand's central vision: the core values of naturalism, modernity, luxury and professionalism.
Some of the other parameters of the redesign were more ergonomic. They asked us to consider making the neck of the bottle much wider than normal bottles to accommodate the dispensing of the product's uniquely thick viscosity. The brand was having to address complaints over the years that the product was not easy to dispense from the existing packaging— so the new packaging had to include a solution to that issue. The bottle also needed to be designed with extra stability in mind for wet shower shelves, and to be, as we say, 'shower-friendly'— easy to grasp and hold on to with wet hands and easy to open, dispense, then close with one wet hand.
For design inspiration we first looked to shapes and forms in nature: pebbles, leaves, flowing water and in the petals of flowers, as Pureology's logo is a flower. We worked to translate and echo those elements through many different ideas and directions ranging from very organic shapes to more traditional shapes that retained some of the elements of the previous packaging for continuity and brand loyalty. The graphics were designed along with several color studies for brand navigation and shopability. We also redesigned the logo and designed a new modernized pack graphic system of brand navigation— using easy to distinguish colors and color cues for each sub-brand but were 'purer looking'— lighter, more pearlescent and more sophisticated.
In the design process we proposed to use the same bottle for both shampoos and conditioners, right side-up and upside-down and in the process save on resources by utilizing only one mold to make both bottles, when normally 2 molds would have to be made. The choices were narrowed down to three designs and then down to one. In the end, the 'multi-directional' bottle was the design that was chosen.
The final new bottle and cap is an asymmetrical curvaceous organic shape that can stand both on its base and on its head with a 40mm neck diameter— wide enough for the thick product to flow freely and is easily usable with one hand. The packaging is injection molded using FDA approved (food grade) HDPE made of 50 percent post-consumer recycled material and is 100 percent recyclable.

Case Study 2.0 Shu Uemura
Japanese makeup brand Shu Uemura came to us to design their haircare range: 35 luxury shampoos, conditioners, masques, treatments, styling products, and accessories— and the most expensive haircare line in the L'Oréal portfolio of brands. We were commissioned to brand the range, direct the launch advertising campaign, produce the photography, and the design all collateral, books and promotional material for the new brand&mdash-- over 100 separate elements.
After meeting with Mr. Uemura, a lot of additional research was done before the direction of the design began— studying Japanese traditions of hairstyling and of the brand, and notably the rich history, styles and techniques of geisha-culture in Kyoto. The final design of all elements echoes the brand's core values of art, science and nature, along with Japanese modernism, traditions, innovation and design, so much that the secondary packages bear Shu Uemura's signature and the following quote from Mr. Uemura: "Creating something that is universally beautiful, that is art."
