Soft Surge: CFL Bulb Package Design
Soft Surge is a fun and approachable redesign of the standard CFL lightbulb package formed from a single sheet of cardboard. I’ve always thought CFL Bulbs were reminiscent of soft serve ice cream. The two couldn't be more different, but upon closer observation both are products in an encasing of sorts. The bulb is packaged in multiple ways from boxes to plastic clamshell cases, while the soft-serve, simply supported by a cone. The cone is a vessel connecting the customer to the product. So why not take this shape for inspiration in the packaging of a more industrial product. The cone wraps around in an organic form creating a more supportive and aesthetic design. Along with the cone, using triangles and pyramids can also be a reinforcing method for package design of a delicate proudct like a lightbulb.
