80 WINK
“The client came to us with a desire to create a line of bath and body
products, but no real strategy, name or creative direction,” recalls designer
Richard Boynton of Wink, “just three fragrance ideas. There was really
nothing to set the product apart within an already-crowded product category.
So we rolled up our sleeves and created a brand, starting with the
name: Daub & Bauble.”
Soaps and lotions occupy valuable countertop real estate throughout
the home. They’ve essentially become a home decor accessory
reflecting the consumer’s design sensibility, much the way a strategically
placed coffee-table book or throw pillow might. Wink
determined that “edition packaging” would be something completely
new within the bath and body category, giving Daub &
Bauble a much-needed brand proposition. Within each fragrance
line there are currently three variations of wallpaper-esque patterns:
modern, classic and toile. The information on the label is
compact and allows the bottles to be displayed with only the aesthetically
pleasing pattern facing outward. by Sheree Clark
