A part of Lithuanian identity is national kitchen. Fields, forests, riversides and other places where there are lots of plants are entire food treasure-troves. Often people do not know or are forgotten the cookery traditions of antecedent and do not suitably evaluate the benefit of wild plants. At the moment a lot are into healthy nutrition and lifestyle, ecology becomes more popular, that is why the topicality of the project is obvious.

After consulting with cookery representatives there was reached a solution that the plants must be frozen (there are several ways: to freeze them regularly or just a distinguished chlorophyll). In the later search for the package form a big part took the analysis of frozen products. In corporation with Ltd. “MTL Carton” company there was made a form of packaging which would be made technologically and real.

The aim to create a modern, interesting not only to Lithuanian market, name became a real challenge. “Raw’iu” is the most suitable name for the project which reveals the project’s idea (prettily mentions about weed). It is a name suitable for Lithuanian and foreign markets.

The general view is being formed by a white minimal package and rational usage of elements. In graphic solutions a big importance makes illustrations. Pictures of four wild plants (violets, dandelions, weeds, and aegopodium) created especially for this project. Chromatic distinguish of leafy and flowering plants. A stylistic wholeness and package telling a story is the item’s exclusive sign.
