Having introduced the world’s first biodegradable pouch made from corn leaf and hand-stitched natural cotton strings, Tchaba’s hand-picked whole tea leaves fall right in place to bring about a unique tea drinking experience.

As part of a collaboration between the master degree program of Retail Design in ELISAVA and Swarovski, this project took place to re-think the hoarding-up during the renovation/construction of the Swarovski shops all over the world. The main idea is how to turn it into yet another opportunity to generate sales and engagement rather than a time of loss in sales. Several points had to be taken into consideration, including the need to focus on the user’s experience not only in the time of construction, but also establishing a more emotional and active long-term client/brand relationship. Our proposal was to create a gifting portal that enables people to send Swarovski gifts from any hoarding point to any place in the world. The portal allows people to share memorable occasions and celebrate them. A customized range of products with customized postcards were designed to send more and more customized love.

Fitnice is a Vertisol brand; an international company from Spain specialized in manufacturing high-quality synthetic fabrics. As part of Fitnice's commitment to the environment, a three-month Fabrication lab with ELISAVA took place in order to propose a new lifecycle for the left over materials from the fabrication process. The result was not a product, but rather a new material that can be: a. Mass produced and available as an off-the-shelf item, b. Available in different colors, c. Applied to any surface, and d. Seamless when poured or applied to large spaces.

The Super Jar is a "Trine Foods" brand that is tailored for the fast paced on-the-go society, increasingly struggling to keep up with demands related to work, family, and day-to-day life chores, all the while trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Forgetting to eat is becoming a trend; and “buying a snack” too often means that these snack are high in sugars, fats, preservatives or artificial flavors. The Super Jar offers snacks that are rich in vitamins and minerals and contain healthy proportions of protein and carbohydrates as well as super-foods and herbs that promote the body’s natural healing capabilities. As we created The Super Jar brand, we needed to have not only a product that caters for our target's need, but also a platform that enables them to easily order and interact with the brand. A website that remembers your previous orders and special mixes works hand in hand with the recycled paper containers that are delivered right to your doorstep.
