Himalayan Salt Lamp Packaging & Unboxing
The Body Source
The Brief
Insight
Objective:
A salt lamp is bought for warmth, but most packaging sells it cold. The opportunity was to make the box behave more like the product: calming, tactile and softly glowing. By treating packaging as a wellness touchpoint rather than just protection, the design could create desire on shelf, reassurance in-hand and a more considered unboxing moment at home.
To redesign The Body Source Himalayan Salt Lamp packaging for high-street retail, making it more appealing to in-store shoppers while retaining the existing brand identity.
The challenge was to make the product feel more premium, giftable and shelf-ready without ignoring commercial realities. The work needed to consider graphic impact, packaging format, customer interaction, unboxing, materials, content hierarchy and scalable solutions across different budget levels.
I developed the full packaging strategy, design system and presentation for this One Retail Group interview task, redesigning The Body Source Himalayan Salt Lamp packaging for high-street retail. My role covered packaging audit, concept development, tiered commercial strategy, Himalayan motif, watercolour texture system, illustration, hierarchy, shelf-blocking, unboxing experience, gift/upsell format and 3D mockup visualisation in Adobe Dimension, using provided and existing product copy where required.
