When I was studying the objective public for the shaving foam I realised that men wanted something natural, pure, masculine, cold and soft. I found that the materials after the manufacturing, plastic, and stamped aluminium, had an aesthetic look that told about the same characteristics that the public were looking for. This foam can shouldn’t be covered with plastic labels or coloured inks, it could be natural, so I kept it in the “rough” materials, achieving a more sustainable design.

What’s Unique?
Sometimes there are no reasons to cover the materials out of the manufacturing because they are naturally beautiful and pure. Nowadays products scream in the supermarket with strong colours or surprising forms, I defend that the most honest and intelligently conceived packaging can scream louder, in a more sustainable way.
