About work

After nine years of wholesale, Sable & Stone started shipping to customers directly and discovered their pieces were arriving beautifully and feeling like nothing.

The box was the only part of the studio a customer would ever touch before the ceramic itself.

Tools

  • Adobe Illustrator

  • InDesign

  • Photoshop

The approach

We designed the unboxing as a three-beat sequence — sleeve, tissue, card — with the maker’s name and firing date handwritten on the last one.

Everything is uncoated, unbleached and glue-free so the whole thing composts.

The outcome

Returns from transit damage dropped to under 1%.

Unprompted unboxing posts became the studio’s largest acquisition channel within six months.

Got a brand that deserves to be remembered?

I take on a limited number of projects each quarter so every one gets my full attention. Tell me what you’re building and let’s see if we’re a fit.
