Saturnus
is a ring made from cardboard. We can use it for information (about wine, offerer, trade mark …etc.), as a rack and when the wine is opened and we pour it, the ring takes the function of the blotter. The ring is for one use only.
Key for …
In the old days mayors of Ljubljana were giving away keys as a symbol of trust, friendship, invitation… to important people for there achievements and services.
This historical fact was our starting point and in cooperation with Zlatarna Celje, we designed a gift for the city of Ljubljana. The gift has a symbolic value like are love, luck, friendship (key is unlocking hearts…) etc. We can use it to thank for certain values that we got them.
Keys are made out of silver.

Surprise flower
Life itself has always been an inspiration to us. Not only our life, but also the vital energy of other human beings surrounding us. Beside the fact that growing plants is existentially very important for people, it also fills them with enthusiasm, plants have a very calming affect on people, they produce oxygen etc.
We buy a neatly packed small pot with a seed sowed in it. The seed can be waken by removing the lid on the top of the pot. When the daylight breaks through, the story begins. That causes curiosity and interest which won’t leave us calm until the plant grows (we will curiously observe its growth every day guessing which sort of plant it is). Instructions, written on the inner site of the lid will help us grow the plant correctly (temperature, humidity, light etc…), but won’t reveal the sort of the plant.
Some people will get fond of the plant in that cycle, they will get to know it better, maybe turn their experiences over to others. Some of them will take it as a surprise, joy and a spontaneous moment. But all of them will experience a moment of anticipation and joy watching the birth of a new plant, which symbolically speaks of joy, hope and life.
Tea bag
Why did I choose Flower form? Because this tea bag was made for their brand, named “1001 Flower”
Flower is a very positive symbol. It`s a symbol of love, inclination, attention, nature, smell, tenderness, softness, color…etc.
The tea is not a need but enjoyment – it is our 5 minutes. We can relax and the shape of the flower can remembers us about pleasant moments that and we can relive them again and again.
Because the majority of tea bags are in square shape, the flower bag is also very noticeable (what is good for trademark).
