BRANDING
Mood Board

​
Inspiration for the branding came from the natural beauty of Iceland as well as from the water bottles that are currently served on Icelandair flights.
The geometric shapes of the icebergs on the dinnerware connect to the same line work on the tray creating a visual illusion that the icebergs are growing straight out of the tray.
