Giocle is a fun perfume who's form is inspired from the Italian designer, Ettore Sottass's work and look. The perfume is called Giocle made by combining the Italian word for play (giocare) and sweet ( dolce).

"When I was Young, all we ever heard about was functionalism, functionalism, functionalism. It's not enough. Design should also be sensual and exciting."
-Ettore Sottsass
Ettore Sottsass is a Italian designer, architect and artist.
Works in industrial design, architecture, jewelry, furniture, installations and art. He is widly regarded for finding Memphis, a design collaborative, mainly responsible for the 80's aesthetic.
The Aim of this project was to use Ettore Sottsass and his designs as an inspiration for the design of a perfume bottle. He is famous for using simple geometries, asymmetrical forms and bright poppy colors, which has been considered as a design philosophy for the perfume bottle.

The Mango
(Design and Ideation)
The ideation for the design started with understanding what are the important aspects of Sottsass's work, which were: Playful, Colorful and Bold
Mangoes were chosen as a representation of summertime and liveliness, but with a surprising twist in flavour. The perfume has a distinctive ergonomic grip and a fruity smell.
