Glorium: A Luxurious Saffron Packaging Design

An Exquisite Blend of Elegance and Functionality

The essence of Glorium demonstrates saffron spectacle glory as of the red gold. The Glorium is designed like a majestic and immanent existence. The extreme matt black cover and embedded gold ribbons surround the saffron glass like a precious diamond. The unique form of the glass-saffron flower- located on a pedestal above ground level, shows the high value of its contents as it grows from the ground. The corrugated canopy depicts the nature of the plant growing from the bottom to the sun.

Glorium, designed by Arvin Maleki, is a truly exceptional packaging design that encapsulates the beauty and value of saffron. With its striking combination of extreme matt black and embedded gold ribbons, Glorium exudes an aura of luxury and sophistication. The unique form of the glass-saffron flower, perched on a pedestal above ground level, symbolizes the preciousness and high value of the saffron it contains. The corrugated canopy further adds to the design's allure, representing the natural growth of the saffron plant towards the sun.

What sets Glorium apart is its three-part structure. The outer cylinder features intricate symbols of flowers that ascend from the ground towards the sky, embodying the journey of the saffron plant. The inner base, adorned with a crown, cradles the main glass and enhances its beauty. Inside the crown, descriptions of saffron are elegantly inscribed, adding a touch of refinement to the overall design. The saffron glass itself is a masterpiece, with a lid inspired by saffron flowers and a body resembling saffron branches. The play of light on the glass intensifies the beauty of the red saffron color, creating a mesmerizing visual experience.

Functionality is at the core of Glorium's design. The packaging set consists of three parts that seamlessly come together to create a cohesive whole. The outer cover serves as the foundation for the other two parts, while the separate base ensures the glass stands securely and prominently. The result is a packaging design that not only showcases the saffron's splendor but also protects and presents it in the most elegant manner.

Glorium was brought to life using state-of-the-art technology and meticulous craftsmanship. The cylinder measures 106 mm in diameter and stands at a height of 210 mm, perfectly proportioned to accentuate the design's grandeur. The combination of premium materials and expert craftsmanship ensures that Glorium is not only visually stunning but also durable and long-lasting.

The creation of Glorium was not without its challenges. The designer, Arvin Maleki, faced the task of striking a delicate balance between functionality and aesthetics. The result is a packaging design that not only appeals to the senses but also adds value to the saffron it contains.

Glorium is a testament to the designer's meticulous attention to detail and dedication to creating a truly exceptional packaging design. Its unique blend of elegance, functionality, and innovation has earned it the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in the Packaging Design category in 2022. This award recognizes designs that demonstrate outstanding creativity and resourcefulness, incorporating best practices in art, science, design, and technology. Glorium is a true masterpiece that enriches the world of packaging design and elevates the saffron experience.
