| DESIGN NAME: PIXIO PRIMARY FUNCTION: Packing INSPIRATION: Inspired by pixel art style of the magnetic constructor PIXIO, its creators wanted to develop a packaging that would bear the same simplicity and elegance. The goal was to demonstrate product’s concept of a 3D pixel as a perfect shape for creative construction. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: PIXIO packaging concept visually communicates the product’s key feature - the versatility of a cube in pixel art style. The packaging box is just like pixio-block itself. With colored sides and ideal cubic shape, it extends the brand’s idea of creative construction with endless possibilities. When stacked the boxes may be formed into patterns, words, statues, and images, making the shelf speak to a customer in a funny appealing way. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The sides of PIXIO boxes repeat the color palette and matte surface of pixio-blocks. This allows to create unique on-shelf messages and fun visual art in the store's space, thus bringing customers into play. A lovely gamification trigger activates a creator that’s inside of everyone. Any store visitor who hasn’t made a purchase yet but who takes a box from the shelf and puts it back - gets engaged in pixel art game experience already. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was started in Atlanta, GA and was funded on Kickstarter during spring 2017. In February 2018 PIXIO was exhibited in Toy Fair in Nuremberg Spielwarenmesse.
