Laura Gallous’s packaging design for OWN Skin Care captures the essence of Sarah Sherman Samuel’s design philosophy, where nature’s influence blends with refined aesthetics. The bottle forms are functional art pieces, echoing Samuel’s delicate balance between raw and polished elements. Constructed from sustainable materials, the bottles harmonize form and function, reflecting the fluid lines present in Samuel’s designs. The display, crafted from natural wood with copper accents, encapsulates the brand’s essence, bridging the gap between beauty and imperfection, much like Samuel’s wabi-sabi approach.
BACKGROUND This student project encompasses both branding and packaging design for a conceptual skin care line for Sarah Sherman Samuel, Principal Interior Designer and founder of Sarah Sherman Samuel Design. Sarah’s interior design, furniture design, and artwork are often inspired by nature. She beautifully juxtaposes the raw with the refined and polished, infusing the architecture and structure of her designs with a bit of whimsy. Sarah utilizes a wabi-wabi approach to tell the unique story of each individual client she works with.
