SUMMARY Carta is a perfume experience rooted in unique locations on Earth and their ecologies.
The brand identity was inspired by cartography, reverence for nature, and relics of moments and places. The premiere scent, Moena 12|69, was released in a limited edition of 300 bottles and features a signature oil, Moena Alcanfor.
The design of Moena 12|69—bottle, box, and accompanying collateral—had to be fittingly special. In partnership with Erica Sanchez, patterns, colors, and textures were developed and derived from the region’s landscape, such as the snaking turns of the Tambopata River, rendered in blind emboss on recycled paper.

Gold and natural hues make up the colors in this design system that evoke a sense of transformation and calm. Rounded shapes and soft twists in the wordmark are meant to feel both meditative and sophisticated.

Concentric circles in the logotype vary in size - just like bubbles fizzing up - while a poppy, primary color palette encapsulates a brand identity system as poppy as the carbonation itself.
Illustrations for Baloo captures a youthful spirit, paying homage to summer camp art projects and the happy-go-lucky euphoria we all knew as kids. The result is whimsical and joyful, leaving you with a lasting impression of "happy bubbles" even after you've finished your drink.
