About
Coastal Crimson is a perfume designed for Istanbul Modern Museum as part of the Design and Form course. Throughout the course, we applied various cognitive design methods to shape the final form of the product.
The result is a product composed of two distinct parts, reflecting the duality of Istanbul Modern itself—its open terrace, where seagulls soar freely, and its interior crowned by a large sphere, symbolizing the heart of the museum. The museum's iconic crimson color embodies the bold and modern character of the perfume, adding a striking visual identity to the design.
Scents
The Coastal Crimson bottle is designed in two parts, mirroring the duality of its scent. The daytime fragrance offers a fresh and light aroma, while the nighttime counterpart evokes a bold and intense essence.
In contrast to the structured duality of the bottle, the packaging design features a soft gradient, creating a visual balance between the product’s vibrant personality and its fluid identity.
VR Experience
Later, as part of the Animation Applications in Industrial Design course, I created a VR experience for Coastal Crimson. You can watch the video below to explore the project further.
Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.
