The goal of the project was to create a new product or an addition to an original line of products. We started with the idea of creating a no-drip olive oil bottle that also included some type of pre-measuring device for the Lucini brand. As we developed the product and continued our research, we decided to move towards Greek olive oil: due to the notion that Greek olives produce higher-quality oils. When changing to Greek olive oil, we decided to make a new brand that focused on sustainability; resulting in a focus on a more luxury product. We ended up creating a fully ceramic no-drip olive oil bottle that included a unique side-laying approach; inspired by some of the first amphora bottles.

The Làdi Olive Oil subscription box provides a luxurious and sustainable solution for the users! Journey back to ancient Greece where you will find masterfully curated olive oil in an elegant terracotta amphora perfect for display on your countertop. The bottles are designed with no-drip mouths and are one-of-a-kind artifacts handcrafted by craftsmen in the traditional style that keep the counter clean of leaks and drips. Not only does it offer a beautiful and functional piece for the kitchen countertop but it is also an environmentally friendly dispenser that can be refilled for the entirety of its durable lifespan through a mail-in delivery. Paired with vinegar amphora, the packaging offers the finest, chef-quality ingredients that are good for the cooking and the planet.

Overall, the project was a success. Creating a fully ceramic bottle, original logo, stamps, QR code, and nutrition label came with many obstacles. This project allowed us to explore best practices when working with multiple people at once and it encouraged us to follow through with an idea that we thought would deliver a high-quality product. The goal was to create an exclusive olive oil and amphora that users would happily “show off”. The final product explored a unique design that included functionality and aesthetics of the packaging.
