When gradients are in but so is minimalism, how do you go about designing packaging that incorporates both elements? Chris Thorpe’s design for Makku has seamlessly designed the most elegantly minimal aluminum can of Makkuli, a soft and creamy alcoholic beverage. Makkuli is the oldest alcoholic beverage in Korea and it’s made from rice, nuruk (traditional fermentation starter), and water. The drink has a soft body and minimally tart taste profile, which comes from lactic acid bacteria, and Chris’ design for the can perfectly reflect these elements.
