It's hard to get a range of bath and body pampering products that don't look girlie, but Sir Terence Conran's new unisex range would not look out of place in your macho bathroom.
The design is
kept simple taking inspiration from antique apothecary bottles and the classic
Kilner jar. The two different fragrance ranges are identified by colour and a
number. Conran 1 is a caramel brown and Conran 2 a mint green. But both have an
orange silicone ring at the top which emulates the rubber seal of the original
Kilner jars.
The design team also wanted to emulate glass and the main
body of the bottles and jars does look like opaque glass but is made of a
hardier material which won’t smash as easily as glass if dropped on the
bathroom tiled floor. And to make sure the bottles could withstand the rigors
of daily use; glossy white bases have been sonically welded on and act as a
shock absorber. The lids are of a brushed silver colour.
The fragrance house of Drom worked alongside the Conran team
to create the unisex fragrances of Conran 1 and 2 based on Sir Terence’s
favourite scents. The team wanted a
modern scent that would be used and liked by both men and women.
They decided not to put the name of the fragrance on the
bottles as research showed people didn’t always remember the names but
recognised the product more on the colours.
Scent 1 – Oudh Wood – essential oils of pepper, nutmeg and
cardamom. This is a warm woody and spicy fragrance. The colour of the bottle
reflects the mood of the scent with a warm caramel colour
Scent 2 – Green Stems – floral scent with lemon, orange oil
and mandarin. This is a fresh and zingy
fragrance with citrus, great to help you wake up in the mornings. The colour is
light fresh green.
The range includes bath washes, body scrubs, body lotions,
shower gels, hand washes and hand lotions.
