So, imagine this scenario: You enter your local supermarket and your ambition is to buy todays dinner. You walk over to the counter and suddenly you see it and you know you just have to have it. It has the most exquisite, mysterious outside and you are just dying to know what the inside will bring. You know it's right..

You're having sushi for dinner.

 

We are two girls named Lina and Malin who has set out to design the perfect and most spectacular sushibox. Our mission is to design a package that is more then just a box, it should tell a story. So we started thinking about japanese culture and history and came up with an idea about trying to capture the mysterios ways of a geisha.  To us a geisha stands for elegance, culture and mystery and that is exactly what we want to implement in to our box.

Our idea is to make the box look like the back of a geishas head, where shoops sticks are the piece holding it all togheter. When you pull the sticks out, the geishas hair falls out, and we have the same ide with the package. When you take the sticks, the box will open..

"You can not call yourself a true geisha untill you can stop a man with the strike of a single look" (from "Memoares of an geisha").
