Student Spotlight: Paper Explorations

  

Fresh work from Sylvain Allard's packaging students:

"To begin our session and create a complete immersion in the world of packaging, I invited the students to do this exercise during the first course this year. The two-dimensional sheet of paper takes shape and becomes a volume. Therefore, shadows and light act on the white surface and create an image.

From a single sheet of paper, they should design a label for a bottle of wine. Through manipulation, bending, cutouts, and mechanisms or in repeated patterns and structures, they should create an image consisting solely of paper. All work should explore the potential of the paper and printing was not allowed.

Since it was meant to be an exploration to push the limits of paper. Transportation constraints, marketing and handling were not an endpoint. In contrast, research, innovation, virtuosity, originality and skill were the criteria for evaluation."

View them all after the jump. Which one is your favorite?

4 and 6 are my favorites. Gorgeous presentation while still being able to handle the bottle. Love the spirit of celebration in all of these.

These are stunning, in particular the foaming wave. I wish my lecturers engaged us like this during my studies.

What a unique way to present a bottle to someone!

These paper creations are like costumes or dresses to the bottles of wine. I'd call it fashion-able packaging. Beautiful.
