Die Illustratoren und Designer Ingrid Reithaug und Tonje Holand alias DARLING CLEMENTINE begannen ihre Karriere in ihrem Boutique-Studio in Oslo. Einige Jahre später produziert das kreative Duo seinen charakteristischen Stil aus verträumten Mustern, farbenfrohen Designs und dekorativen Verpackungen für Kunden in Tokio, Indien, Norwegen, Korea und darüber hinaus.
So zieren ihre filigranen Motive die Flaschen von JADE FOREST ICED TEA. “We created an exclusive label for tonic specialist Jade Forest. Each label in the series of five taste varieties has a unique illustration that depicts the flavor.” Angereichert mit der Kraft von Antioxidantien, ist der unverwechselbare Berry Blush Premium Iced Tea von Jade Forest eine schöne Melancholie aus grünem Tee, sechs verschiedenen Beeren und Früchten und einer Prise Kräutern.
Zudem übernahmen sie das Redesign der Packungen des schwedischen Teehauses GARANT. DARLING CLEMENTINE: “Garant wanted to redesign their classic tea assortment, and we were given one of our most exciting projects to date. We love working with packaging, and we really like to make something work as a coherent series. There’s a little story for each flavor, and we have truly enjoyed working on this project from beginning to end. Done in collaboration with Bas.”
Die beiden in einem Interview über ihre Arbeit: “We have similar tastes. When we started fifteen years ago, we realized we had the same dresses, kitchen utensils, and furniture. We liked the same things. For us, illustration is such a good way to express ourselves. Graphics can be strict and quite limited, but illustrations can be a bit more fun and over the top.”
