I bet you've never seen a [tube of lotion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jergens-lotion-bursts) that's quite like OneEighty packaging. Its contents would have been effectively stored and dispensed in your typical [capped tube containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-daily-care), yet this concept by Nikolo Kerimov, Arttu Kuisma and Juho Kruskopf would be much more novel and memorable to the consumer.

Instead of comprising a smooth shell of flexible plastic, each package incorporates a parametric skin of stiff triangular faces that allows the tubes to be crumpled when squeezed, adopting a complex and uneven geometric form. Further visual dimension is emphasized through the use of a variety of [colorful shades across the shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-project-ara) in either blue, grey or yellow, depending on the product. Men's cream OneEighty packaging jazzes up what tend to be boring looking items.
