SISU – Non-alcoholic Spirit
SISU is a non-alcoholic spirit whose name stands for „mental quality“ in the Finnish language and embodies strength, endurance, courage, relentlessness and fighting spirit.
Non-alcoholic spirits are an alternative to conventional spirits. These spirits are sometimes produced in the same way as alcoholic spirits but involve special processes to remove the alcohol as a last step. SISU works with adaptogens which are herbal remedies that can help you combat mental or physical discomfort. They provide a biological boost that manages stress, strengthens your immunity and improves your overall well-being.
For centuries botanicals have been associated with traditional medicine, aromatherapy and herbal teas. Today consumers still perceive herbal substances as a „healthy halo“. Given the circumstances surrounding COVID-19 and to protect their own health, consumers see a positive link between these botanical extracts and emotional well-being.

Design
When designing the label, it was of utmost importance to integrate the Finnish influence. Therefore we decided to incorporate the style of the Finnish flag into the label design.
The flag shown is tilted to the left and forms a diagonal from the bottom left to the top right. This inclination symbolises a positive spiritual development. The logo also contains a diagonal and aspirational element that underlines the concept of the brand.

Contemporary design meets Punk
As we are always looking for the latest trends in design and lifestyle, it is our goal to offer perfect products to consumers. With our creative hub SIIDS we constantly develop and promote our creative potential and invite you to be part of it.
Nowadays sustainability is a must and should be considered in every product development. Therefore we looked at the market of decorative cosmetics, which is flooded with plastic packaging. While there is a massive usage of foils and plastics, the filling quantity is not consumer-friendly. Therefore we felt the need to develop a packaging that is both sustainable and consumer-friendly without sacrificing any stylish elements.
The idea was to develop a sustainable and refillable mascara kit, equipped with different brushes, for an exciting shopping experience. The kit includes a refillable Mascara tube, bioplastic refill containers and a selection of brushes for different looks and occasions. The design should be purist, contemporary and expressive.

Brand & Logo development
When designing the product, we took into account that the brand should have a niche character but still appeal to a wide audience. It was also of great importance to position the brand in such a way that it can be extended to a broad product portfolio. In future more mascara colors will be included in the range as well as liquid eyeliner in refillable containers.
The logo ARC has a simple but graphic approach. The C also serves as the signet of the brand. The arc symbolizes the curved eyelashes and thus embodies the hero product. The look & feel of the brand should express calligraphy, punk, contrast and a contemporary style.

Truly Care – a zero waste face mask
In our day-to-day work as packaging designers we notice that single treatment products, such as face masks, are often also sold in single-use plastic packaging. While single treatments are convenient for many consumers, single-use packaging means a burden on the environment. Therefore we challenged ourselves and designed Truly Care – a sustainable single treatment and zero waste face mask. Truly Care was designed to create as little waste as possible. The packaging consists of a paper wrap and a capsule that contains face mask powder. The paper can be returned to its recycling cycle because we paid attention to not using hot foils or any other finishing that would exclude the paper from its recycling cycle and make the packaging more expensive. The capsule itself is vegan and made of agar-agar – the same material used for nutritional supplement capsules.

The capsule contains the face mask powder which must be merged with water before application. By pouring hot water over the capsule, the shell dissolves. The powder can then be mixed with the water and the dissolved shell so that the mask can be applied. To support sustainability and to create a healthy product, the amount of ingredients is kept very low. The anti-age fuse mask consists of algae powder (spirulina) and green tea leaves. The calming fuse mask contains concentrated pomegranate powder and clay. The cleansing fuse scrub is made of coffee and charcoal.
No additional microplastics, chemical dyes or any other chemical agents are included. Truly Care is organic and vegan and the face mask can be flushed away without any concern.
The motto of Truly Care, “no frills included”, does not only refer to the ingredients but also to the product itself. The packaging material was kept as minimalistic and pure as possible. Furthermore the visual appearance of Truly Care speaks a clear and straightforward design language. The paper wrap only shows the main ingredient and the texture of the product to give buyers and consumers an idea of the product. On the back easy, minimalistic icons guide consumers through the user instructions. The product’s sustainability and organic ingredients are communicated through the “bio” and “vegan” icons. We refrained from using explicit sustainable features, like brown paper, because we believe that these days it is one’s duty and it goes without saying to design any product as sustainable as possible. This should not only be communicated to a sustainable target group because we want everyone to use and see it.
Truly Care zero waste face mask, logo
„Truly Care“ tells what the product does: It’s an honest and genuine caring product for your skin. Hence we chose a minimalistic but sturdy font to represent the products’ features. The omission of serifs underlines the „no frills included“ motto because a striking and detailed font would not represent the raw pureness and strength of this product. The „c“ in the logo was extended by a little line which, combined with the letter C, represents the shape of the Truly Care face mask capsule.

The label design very much represents that change. People are trapped in their own, monotonous world and can take a peek into a new, colourful and free world. It is inspiring to acquire a new outlook on things and to escape a stuck mind-set. The colours give you an idea of the positive experiences that await you, if you let it happen. The design of the bottle is split into two different image styles to emphasize the different mind-sets: a clean front label and colourful back label which is only visible from inside the bottle. It is designed like an entrance to another world which you can only access through Changin‘ – the non-alcoholic spirit.
To guarantee a sustainable packaging, Changin’ was designed plastic-free (glass bottle, wood & cork lid, paper label) and
its chosen ingredients are 100% organic.
The name Changin’ is a combination of the words “change” and “gin” as the taste of the drink is inspired by gin.The font of the logo and the colours on the back label represent the idea of psychedelic visualisations where all aspects of perception and mental associations can be altered – and that’s all about changin’ the mind-set.

The detailed design of the whole bottle forces you to take a close look and to engage with the design: pick up the bottle and look through it to see what’s going on inside. It arouses instant curiosity. In a world with limited attention spans, Changin’ encourages you to think and take a close look. It is a product of today’s zeitgeist and so much more than just a drink.

All designed components have a simple shape and are plugged together on a compact docking station. True to the motto „clean. floss. rinse“, the set offers the perfect tooth-brushing routine, while its compactness makes it ideal for traveling.
OARIS is developed by siids, the baries innovation hub.
OARIS, sustainable dental hygiene kit, modular components
When investigating the market for dental hygiene products, we found that the aspects of sustainability are mostly not taken into account. There is a high consumption of plastics and packaging in this market sector, which makes it difficult for the end consumer to behave in an environmentally friendly way. Since everything is packaged separately, we decided to develop a product kit that is sustainable and at the same time consumer-friendly. Moreover, the design should stand out and make the product a must-have item.
During the design process, it was of utmost importance that the product is refillable and made from recycled materials such as sugar cane plastic. To emphasize the product’s sustainability, we chose pastel green as the brand’s color.
The target group is people aged 25 and over. This demographic values the durability of products and their environmental friendliness. They appreciate good design and products that make daily life easier while being practical to use.

Working on sustainable products is always a challenge, but also a lot of fun. We are
pleased to present our latest result as a contribution to a more sustainable environment.
