“Altitude Spirits tasked me with creating a consumer package for Vodka 14, their organic craft-distilled vodka, that reflected the qualities of the product itself: exceptional quality, purity, and sustainability. The bottle this design process yielded is a tall, elegant  and simple form, decorated with just black, white, and grey pigments. Lots of undecorated space on the bottle highlights the exceptional clarity of the product. The artwork itself is strong but understated, big bold type in a face cut just for this package alongside the hand-drawn mountain motif. Best of all the entire package is recyclable in most municipal recycling programs here in the United States. The closure is aluminum and recyclable synthetic rubber, the safety seal is recyclable PETG instead of the usual non-recyclable PVC, and the bottle is glass decorated with nontoxic ceramic pigments silkscreened on.”

There are a handful of iPod nano accessories that turn the venerable nano into a proper watch but all of them come with caveats. I appreciate when designers not only address the aesthetic values of design, but also the manufacturing ethos they purport. A husband and wife team from Canada are working hard on their first CKIE project, the Deckster iPod nano Time Piece. Their goal? Create a watch strap for the nano that combines high quality engineering touched with handcrafted precision all in sustainable packaging.
