CARTE D'OR ICE CREAM CUP

To design an ice cream cup is a piece of cake, right? Not in the slightest.

The client asked for a restyling of the existing packaging without changing its dimensions, volume and width.
The new design needed to be unique, different from the competition and express a sense of genuine and the creaminess of the ice cream.

I am used to inventing shapes that respect technical limitations, production and marketing requests and that reduce to the bone my elbow room, but never before like in this case.

This was my solution to the problem.
