We created a range of packaging to match the natural ethos of the spa. Body and bath scrubs, creams and oils complete the first range of products used in the spa and available to purchase online.

Sales of Gaia products have outsold their counterparts in the spa twice over in a successful first season. Our packaging design for Gaia’s Awakening Body Oil was Highly Commended in the ‘Best New Design & Packaging’ category at the 2016 Pure Beauty Awards.

After the packaging designs were finished, we art-directed a photoshoot of the new products with the ingredients they contain to emphasise the natural and honest character of Gaia Spa. This was all done while the products were still in development to collate a bank of marketing images ready to use once the product was launched.

The spa takes its name from Gaia, the ancient goddess of the earth. We commissioned an illustration depicting Gaia herself surrounded by plants, vines and birds in earthy-green tones. We then applied sections of the design to packaging and the spa website to form a holistic brand identity. Elements of the illustration have also been featured in the spa’s interior design.

With the spa and products still in development, compelling photography played a vital role in the pre-launch marketing materials. We wrote the brief and supplied mood boards for a photoshoot that drew a parallel between Gaia Spa and the natural environment.

Following a comprehensive UX workshop, we designed and built the website to be an immersive experience fitting with the ethos of Gaia Spa and its products. Large imagery, white space and hints of illustration create a tranquil layout that reflects the brand values. We then implemented these web assets on Gaia’s ecommerce platform to create a seamless digital experience.
