Industrial Design Student Work: This Eye-Catching Perfume Bottle

By ID student Anders Flem, with packaging by Comm D student Connor Moore

When looking through ID student work I rarely see structural package designs, but today's the day. Anders Flem, an Industrial Design student at the University of Cincinnati, designed this eye-catching Air Scents perfume bottle.

The assignment was not only to create a unique bottle design, but to also come up with "three unique executions" for the product's visualization.

"The form plays with the idea of air, the brand's namesake; the floating circular cavity holding the product is intended to appear as though it is floating. Three [options] were explored in the visualization studies: A clean, descriptive style…"

"…the product seemingly suspended in midair…"

"…and a retro-ethereal iteration."

The packaging, by the way, was done by fellow student and Communication Design major Connor Moore.

First of - very elegant design!

Not defending either position, but a recommendation - it really helps both the credibility of the design and the designer if they have a clear path to realize the design to manufacturing. It will prevent going down a pathway that requires losing design intent for molding reality and really allow a designer to justify how they may want to push or flex the boundaries of design by suggesting how it could be made. Design without delivery is a missed opportunity.

Hi Rain! Thank you for sharing! One small note - Connor Moore, the designer I collaborated with, is a graphic design (Communication design) student at the University of Cincinnati.

Well, you can do anything in CAD until you're hit with the reality of production. Absolutely no way to produce anything even close in glass. The instructor should have slapped the student upside the head and said "learn a bit about production - then design a bottle". So disappointing.

  This was a render weekly prompt / visualization exercise - hence the emphasis on visualization styles and not the bottle design itself. :)

  "...slapped the student upside the head..." - wtf?
  You by any chance wear a maga cap?
  Might be tricky to produce exactly but by no means impossible. Only a poor designer would shy away from challenging tooling.
