The All Mies packaging stands out with its simplicity and elegance, perfectly complementing the clean lines and minimalist approach of the timepieces it houses. The concept revolves around a series of different layers that fit together like puzzle pieces, gradually revealing the watch inside. This artful unveiling creates a sense of anticipation and excitement for the wearer.
Constructed using cardstock layers, the packaging features a cutout in the center where the watch sits. These layers are held together by a thin rubber band, which rests on small notches. The main core is then enclosed by a final cover that proudly displays the brand's identity.
When it comes to functionality, the All Mies packaging offers a seamless experience. It can be opened by either sliding the core out of the cover or by opening the cover from the back tab. Once the cover is removed, the main core can be untied by removing the rubber band. This reveals the watch, which is now surrounded by a series of independent layers.
Throughout the design process, the All Mies team faced the challenge of creating a unique and elegant packaging solution within a limited budget. By rejecting generic boxes, they carefully studied production processes and materials to achieve a custom design that met their financial constraints.
The All Mies packaging embodies the brand's commitment to simplicity and boldness. It not only serves as a protective case for the watch but also enhances the overall experience of owning and unwrapping the timepiece. By expanding upon the architectural identity of the brand, this packaging design truly lets form follow function.
The All Mies packaging, with its minimalist aesthetic and artful unveiling, has been recognized for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Packaging Design category in 2019. This prestigious accolade celebrates designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.
