About

High-End Packaging Designer – Luxury Candle Brand (Vintage-Chic Concept) Description: We are creating a luxury candle brand with a unique concept: candles poured into conserve-style metal cans with a decapsulable lid. The product is eco-responsible, bilingual (FR/EN), and positioned as premium lifestyle gifting. We are looking for a visionary packaging designer with a strong sense of luxury branding, typography, and material design to create a carton (sleeve/box) that is not just packaging, but a design object. The candle can itself is minimal and modern. The carton must deliver the “wow” effect: Inspired by vintage apothecary labels and heritage preserves. Refined, with modern luxury finishes (foil stamping, embossing, textured stock). Artistic yet timeless, designed to stand on the shelves of concept stores and luxury boutiques. Deliverables: Moodboard & concept presentation (2–3 style directions). 1 finalized packaging design (print-ready dielines). Premium mockups (carton + candle, lifestyle and e-commerce visuals). Source files (AI/PSD, print-ready PDF). What we value: A true design eye – typography, composition, proportion, and detail matter. Experience in luxury packaging (perfume, cosmetics, spirits, high-end F&B). Understanding of materiality (paper texture, finishes, embossing, foil). Ability to blend vintage inspiration with modern minimalism. Questions for applicants: Describe how you would design the most beautiful luxury candle carton that feels vintage-chic yet refined. (3–5 sentences) Share 3 examples from your portfolio where you combined heritage/vintage elements with luxury design. Which finishes and papers would you recommend to create a truly premium tactile experience? Budget: Flexible — we value design excellence.
