We often consider the products we use and their packaging to be two separate things – the product is the thing we want, and its packaging is a piece of trash thrown away. However, these 25 ingenious packaging designs prove that a well-designed package can complement or even enhance the product it was designed to carry.
Good design isn’t just about the product – it’s also about good packaging. Honey pots are an excellent example of packaging design. The hexagon shape is perfect for representing what’s inside the jar and can be stacked to form a honeycomb pattern. And the hexagonal cap doubles as a honey dipper as well. A pot like that complements its product and makes it a pleasure to use (as if using honey could get any better).
While not precisely applicable, some other packaging is still helpful and stylish. The Note headphones’ packaging strongly associates with music, while the tea hangers or Kiss juice boxes make their products just a bit more fun to use. It doesn’t always have to be about function. (H/T)

![Project of the Week: Designed by @espacio18 [IG], La Ventana is a small hotel in Baja California Sur, in Mexico. The extreme climate of the desert, its sunsets, the clarity of the sea and the colors of the earth inspired us to resume the form of the cactus and as they emerge from the stones, this is the idea of La Ventana.
The project tells the story for the user who inhabits it, constructions in the form of a circle house integrate amenities and rooms, where through the landscaping you discover hidden elements such as fire pits or swimming pools. La Ventana is destined to be a place of rest, a spot to practice yoga, kite surfing, biking, visit nearby villages and beaches or just chill. The buildings of the project respond to the views of the sea, to the privacy, to the sunshine and especially to the strong winter winds. La Ventana is the start of several exclusive projects that are approaching.](https://scontent-ams4-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t39.30808-6/318724600_3066252263530008_5258259638467618078_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=w8i8fXSuhpkAX8HWd5m&_nc_ht=scontent-ams4-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=00_AfABAeN5kcUgQeeEN2GuNQyxbOG5tq0w9y6JPo1j6Zd2rA&oe=6395026E "Project of the Week: Designed by @espacio18 [IG], La Ventana is a small hotel in Baja California Sur, in Mexico.
