Solaris
Packaging design, 3D modeling

The Solaris shaving and beard care kit is designed for the intergalactic traveler, blending functionality with a touch of nostalgic futurism. The brand name pays homage to the iconic science fiction novel by visionary author Stanisław Lem, encapsulating the spirit of exploration and innovation.

The kit is housed in a durable metal lunchbox, reminiscent of travel shaving sets popular during the Polish People’s Republic (PRL)—a period when Lem penned many of his works. This retro-futuristic design incorporates sturdy metal tins for creams and balms, making it equally suitable for terrestrial and interstellar journeys.

The packaging draws inspiration from engineering blueprints, reflecting precision and craftsmanship while emphasizing transparency and trustworthiness: a direct nod to the high-quality, reliable ingredients used. Each element of the kit is thoughtfully crafted with sustainability in mind, rejecting plastic entirely in favor of recyclable steel, ensuring a timeless design that echoes concerns about our environmental footprint and the legacy we leave behind.

Custom-designed pictograms enhance the experience, representing a razor (shaving cream), a water droplet (moisturizing cream), and a comb (beard balm). These icons are seamlessly integrated with the typography, creating a cohesive visual language that highlights both functionality and design integrity.

The Solaris kit is more than just a grooming set—it’s a tribute to thoughtful design, sustainability, and the boundless possibilities of human imagination.
