As part of a school project, designer Mihyun Sim came up with the idea for a cereal cafe that would feature unique designs and quirky packaging to store its food products.
The idea behind the concept store 'Cereal Planet' is to offer individualized packs of cereal that contain just enough for one serving -- an idea that Mihyun Sim decided to work on. The result comes in the form of hexagonal cereal boxes that can be stacked in many different ways, allowing for attractive displays while still being functional. Each box features bright colors, astronomical themes, and transparent windows through which the contained cereals can be observed.
This cereal cafe concept works to provide inspiration for brands that are looking to expand the diversity of their food products and the packaging they are available in.
