This caught my eye as they have used light in rays and triangles but also with organic elements (first image) such as photographing it outside. I think its really interesting and unusual and links with my work.

Debbie Powell Ink
I like how she uses repeated patterns in print and their tribal organic qualities, it is similar to how i want to use pattern within my packaging. I really like how she uses one bold colour contrasting with wood or material (natural materials).
Traditional Mandala Incense
The Traditional Mandala Incense is a bamboo tube containing the Himalayan incense sticks. The incense sticks themselves are wrapped in rice paper. The following describes the Himalayan incense......Each package contains approximately 24 thick sticks that are 8 1/2" long. The package reads..."This incense is made according to an age old Buddhist tradition to offer to all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and guardian deities of the ten directions. It contains about one hundred precious aromatic herbs including gurgum, nagi, musk, white & red sandalwood, saffron and other excellent medicinal ingredients. It is prepared by hand with utmost care and devotion for the well being of all the sentient beings and accumulation of merit... "
I would like to use this package for the incense sticks, it looks the most authentic and i think it has a beautiful quality to it, i will look at printing onto rice paper.

The student work from Vancouver BC’s Capilano University keeps rolling in. This time Veronica Stark sends us two of her lovely packaging projects.
“Medina is a high-end incense company that specializes in aromatherapy multi-packs. The name was chosen to reference the ancient Middle-Eastern city from which incense originated, and also alludes to the medicinal qualities of each scent. Each container features a variety of therapeutic scents, allowing you to explore different aromas in one package. With the arabic-inspired patterns, calming color palette and modern typography, Medina is a fresh approach to incense packaging.”
I really like the complex patterns created on for the packaging, it appears fragile and beautiful

Product Range
i love the continuity throughout the range of products the bellyband stock and pattern, although the bellyband colour and the style of packaging changes it is still a strong range.
I like how some of the contents can be seen using a cut out within the packaging.
Arcadia Organic Tea
This packaging was hand made and assembled by me for a package design class as part of my BFA. The pattern was lacquer transfered to green paper. They come in a package of four so placed back-to-back all the little pyramids would nest together to make a larger pyramid.
Topshop Make-up Packaging
Topshop Make Up A/W10
Design of Topshops’ Autumn / Winter 2010 Limited edition Make-Up range. 'Heavy Duty' packaging features mirror finishes, triangular boxes, die cut angles, foiling, and scribbled illustrations.
I like the simplicity of the packaging and the triangular cuts used throughout the products

100% Wood
French brand Kulte has teamed up with Waiting For The Sun to create a 100% wood, handmade sunglasses for Spring 2010. I love the triangular shape and recycled brown box packaging.
Polyhedral
I’ve been intending for a while to do a little survey of recent polyhedral packaging. Sylvain Allard, in his Packaging UQAM blog, shows a great affinity for geometric solutions to packaging problems. So it seems fitting to start with something from there.
1. Laurence Gregoire’s proposed chocolate packaging, above, features a triangular package that unwinds into a string of 10 connected prism-shaped boxes. It’s a sort of fractal pack since the shape of each part is similar to the whole. (And the logo looks like the second iteration of aSierpinski triangle.)
2. New Zealand-based Steph Baxter’s proposed “recycled tissue” packaging is reminiscent of some recent triangular Kleenex boxes. Except that, in her design, the prism-shaped boxes are tied together in a hexagonal set of six. Also: her graphics tell a 6-panel story about recycled paper.
3. Diego Hodgson’s dual Bon O Bon package is based—not on prisms—but on antiprisms. Two square antiprisms are combined to form a hinged dual-package—with each side containing a different flavor of candy. (See also: Nerds)
4. Nescafe display packaging by Alberto Vasquez of igen Design and Éva Sümegi & Richard Nagy of Co&co Communication: cube-shaped carton unfolds into a triangular (prism-shaped) POP display.
Baby Star Shoe Box
While researching Converse packaging for my previous post, I found this clever concept package by Ronny Poon: a triangular box for baby-sized Chuck Taylor All Stars. The box is held closed by a shoelace bow. According to Poon’s web site
A
fun package for toddlers’ Converse shoes. It helps improve children’s
motor skills by allowing the child to lace-up the box. When 5 boxes are
collected they can be placed together to form the Converse star.

Nice example of a close-packaging polyhedral package. And I like that business with the laced up box closure. Not sure whether this shoe box could really assist
in early childhood development, although acquiring 5 pairs of Chuck
Taylors at such a young age might help a child grow up to become this guy.

The first prize of EUR 3,000 was awarded to Hanna Päivinen from the Lahti Institute of Design in Finland for her folded, two-compartment paperboard tray, which can be made of Stora Enso Trayforma board. “The waste of food that puts a burden on the environment is reduced, since half of the contents can be used first and the other half is preserved in the tight package. This tray is suitable for the packaging of a variety of different foodstuffs, such as ready meals and cold cuts. It is perfect for smaller households and a magnificent, new break-through for paperboard, with plenty of market potential,” stated the jury.
Triangle packaging for the sustainable soap
Two Swedish designers Jenny Norberg and Petra Liljas created a great sustainable product – triangle soap. It is made of recycled cooking oil and packed in paper.
Their design studio dubbed Apocalypse focuses only on 100% recycled sustainable goods.
Tri-Ply's Right Triangle Box
Via Packaging Digest: a right triangle prism-shaped box for Lakeland Tri-Ply pots and pans. Designed by UK-based Nicepond, these close-packing boxes set themselves apart by making unusually efficient use of space and materials. (Also opens up a number of different display options.)
