BOON, MAGNET Design firm

(2024 Pentawards Silver Winner)

Dutch brand BOON, known for its meat substitute products launched 12 products on the cannery shelf to attract a new generation of home chef foodies. BOON's beans are from Dutch soil and packed locally in Tetra's to generate lower carbon foot print and MAGNET Design’s brief was to create a range of colourful and inviting packaging that created a bang on shelf. For the core range, the product shots, are playfully combined with illustrated cutlery, referring to the brand’s logo where an illustrated Bean is stuck on the brand name. For the ‘in sauce’ variants, different illustrated bowls help to deliver each taste sensation.
