Illusory
This design aims to propose a new environmentally friendly approach, using packaging as a part of the product itself to reduce material waste and production costs. In this aromatherapy diffuser design, the sponge is both the packaging lining and the diffuser itself, fully utilizing the soft, cushioning, and porous properties of sponge. Due to the porous nature of sponge, fragrance liquid can evenly adhere to its surface, making the aroma more lasting and charming. This design integrates packaging and products, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development.

The A' Packaging Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design prize that honors outstanding design of bottles, boxes, cans, pouches, tubes, cartons, wrappers, bags and more.
