Lancôme has designed a refillable bottle that at the same time keeps the premiumness and desirability for a high-end brand.

It is a nice technical execution in the work of ergonomics and its rechargeability.
Award winner
PURE GOLD RADIANCE CREAM – La Prairie Group AG
One of the major issues of this packaging is to respond to the environmental concerns of our time while maintaining a luxurious appearance and a graceful gesture of usage. For this purpose, a refillable packaging was developed, consisting of a solid outer case and a glass inner part.

Curator Eyeshadow Refill/Curator Eyeshadow Refillable Palette – Hourglass Cosmetics
Eyeshadow refills and refillable palettes are not a new concept in the beauty industry. This is why Hourglass wanted to modernise the refill experience in a disruptive way.

Les Extraits – Louis Vuitton
On receipt of Frank Gehry’s model, the challenge was to respect the artist’s work without compromising on the shape of the bonnet.

The rechargeability of this product allows the creation of a highly valued hood that can be preserved.
Award winner
PARIS-ÉDIMBOURG LES EAUX DE CHANEL – EAU DE TOILETTE
The brief is fulfilled thanks to this innovative material which has sensory properties, a singular sound and is very close to the cap historically used on this DES EAUX DE CHEL range.

Award winner
RIVIÈRES DE CARTIER

CALENDAR FOR N°5
