art serving packaging<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

If it seems that collaborations between artists and brands are the preserve of luxury brands \u2013 such as Louis Vuitton and Japanese artist Takashi Murakami in 2004 \u2013 the mass market has began using \u2018art packaging\u2019 too. This is notably the case of Evian, which each year partners with a big name from the fashion industry to create its limited edition bottles, or Compagnie de Provence, which for its 20th anniversary, commissioned the Marseille designer St\u00e9phan Muntaner, to celebrate the origins of the Marseille soap brand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Consumer brands are not the only ones interested in using artists, retail stores are too. At Christmas, Barneys department store invited Lady Gaga to take the reins of a spectacular pop-up store on the 5th floor of the department store, where fans of the singer could find unique items, ranging from fashion to confectionery, created by \u2018Mother Monster\u2019 and the Haus of Gaga creative team.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Each month, the Dudes Factory shop in Berlin invites an artist or designer to redesign the shop and its range of products, a great way for the store to surprise customers, renew itself and also discover new talent… But the democratization of art also takes place through distribution and pricing, and there are emerging concepts that make art more accessible, either financially or physically. This is the case for the network of Yellow Korner photographic galleries in Paris, which publishes and distributes limited and numbered editions, framed or mounted, by established and promising artists from \u20ac20 to \u20ac2,000. The Fr\u00e8re Ind\u00e9pendant association offers works by underground artists, exhibited at the Pool Art Fair, or, more surprisingly, in hotel rooms in New York.<\/p>

giving the amateur artist more value<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Patron brands are numerous and include for example L’Espace Pierre Cardin and the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art. However, they focus more and more on their community of fans and give more value to amateur artists through unique partnerships with young artists, creativity being all the more stronger when such initatives are numerous. As such collaborations also generate more sharing and thus more visibility and impact, brands now encourage their customers to participate in the creative process, thus making them not only commercial players but also real contributors to the cultural scene. Take for example Brisk iced tea, a PepsiCo brand, which partnered with the photo sharing application Instagram for the SXSW festival. Users were invited to send their pictures with the hashtag #briskpic to decorate 4,000 limited edition cans.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Brands are also more and more interested in young artists, who represent an opportunity for them to renew themselves in an engaging way, while also being a showcase for the artists themselves. This was the case for Virgin which rewarded amateur filmmakers in the Media Shorts Festival, or H&M, which launched the first Design Awards in February 2012 as part of the Stockholm Fashion Week. The winner, Stine Riis, a graduate of the London College of Fashion, will have her collection sold in selected H&M stores, gaining recognition throughout the world while winning a \u20ac50,000 prize.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Art is therefore a great way for brands to engage with jaded consumers, speaking their own language, thereby creating complicity. They invest more and more in this area, to the point of organising artistic events in an engaging and subtle way, such as BT, which will launch BT River of Music, a music festival on the banks of the Thames during the 2012 Olympic Games. This new form of storytelling allows brands to engage with their consumers, provided that these campaigns bring more meaning to the brand and are not purely gratuitous.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"blog_categorie":[41],"class_list":["post-710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","blog_categorie-insight"],"acf":[],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":710},"pll_sync_post":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cba-design.com\/united-states\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cba-design.com\/united-states\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cba-design.com\/united-states\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cba-design.com\/united-states\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cba-design.com\/united-states\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cba-design.com\/united-states\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cba-design.com\/united-states\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cba-design.com\/united-states\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=710"},{"taxonomy":"blog_categorie","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cba-design.com\/united-states\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog_categorie?post=710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
