Student Work: Caleb Heisey: Folksaga Packaging

This awe­some pack­ag­ing series, Folksaga, was designed by by Caleb Heisey, who is cur­rently pur­su­ing an MFA at Tyler School of Art. Here’s a bit of back­ground about the project:

Folksaga is a Swedish dis­tillery of akvavit, a tra­di­tional scan­di­na­vian liquor fla­vored with ingre­di­ents such as car­away, anise, or gin­ger. The con­cept behind the project was to broaden akvavit’s appeal to an American mar­ket while main­tain­ing its rich, nordic roots. Each bot­tle fea­tures a pop­u­lar folk tale from Sweden. Ranging from murky mer­maids to ter­ri­ble trolls, these mytho­log­i­cal char­ac­ters are always up to no good — prey­ing upon trav­el­ers lost in the wild. The project was art directed by Paul Kepple of Headcase Design.

    Hi Ali, If you look at the post above you’ll see this a stu­dent project. So unfor­tu­nately they’re not avail­able for sale.

  2. […] this kind of stu­dent work is what i really think we need more of, espe­cially in bev­er­age pack­ag­ing. so many liquors try to evoke some­thing sul­try and end up look­ing like cheap dates. this series of infused akvavit asso­ciates the fla­vors with swedish folk­tales while show­cas­ing a very strong brand. great work! see more at design​work​life​.com. […]
