Information

The primary function of a box is to shield its precious contents from outside damage. At GBGT Box, this functionality is elevated to an art form while maintaining a strong approach to sustainability. GBGT Box creates boxes that protect products, excite consumers, and reaffirm the brand’s sustainable values. While few in the packaging industry communicate the impact of their products on the planet, GBGT Box is determined to change the industry norm by explaining the carbon footprint of their boxes.

“Just as Earth's atmosphere safeguards life on our planet, a box shields its precious contents from external harm. Without this delicate balance of the atmosphere's layers, Earth would be nothing more than another rock floating in an endless universe.”

Approach

Without the delicate balance of its atmospheric layers, Earth would be nothing more than another rock floating in space. Thanks to its 'lovely atmosphere,' the planet supports incredible life. Just as the atmosphere protects life on Earth, a box safeguards its contents from harm. With their low-impact materials and construction, GBGT Box goes one step further, protecting life on Earth while producing premium crafted packaging.

Concept

In celebration of GBGT Box's commitment to sustainability, 'A Lovely Atmosphere' is both a catalogue of the brand's materials and techniques, and an object that honours the fragility of our planet. Its five nested boxes act like a matryoshka, with each layer detailing the unique qualities of the exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere through five unique artworks.
