    Pentawards 2017 - best of global packaging

    The world's best product packaging was displayed at the Pentawards 2017 in Barcelona this past week with the Diamond Pentaward Best of Show going to Spanish-based agency Perfumes y Diseño, for its Starck Paris perfume collection.
    Pentawards 2017 - best of global packaging

    Starck Paris is the new perfume collection by designer Philippe Starck. Known for product, industrial, architectural and furniture, he has now ventured into the fragrance industry, under his new perfume label, Starck Paris.

    The product is a collection of three perfumes: feminine, masculine and neutral. The concept was to create three distinct and independent designs that when together, both as bottles and in packaging would interlink to form one sculpture. The fluid nature of the design creates connectivity between the three fragrances, which is consistent throughout all aspects of the set. The complex design of the bottles meant that the production had to be executed perfectly to ensure that all three fragrances ebbed and flowed between each other, as conceptualised in the design phase.

    Platinum Pentawards winners

    The Platinum Pentawards awarded to the best in packaging in five major categories went to:

    Beverages Category: Ryuta Ishikawa (Japan) for the Kirinzan bottles of Japanese Sake
