Throughout the year, designers at Mailchimp create custom goods for our employee reward and recognition program known as the Rainbow Room. All the products used are made by Mailchimp customers — each one a small business. Every season there is a new release and for this particular collection, I designed a custom incense set with ceramic holder.
For the incense, I wanted to create a scent to increase focus and improve concentration — both things that tend to lag at the end of the year. One of Mailchimp’s customers, Botanica, created a blend of peppermint, clary sage, and white tea. I took inspiration from vintage apothecary labels for the packaging and hand drew the different botanical notes. Another Mailchimp customer, Heo, created custom ceramic incense holders with a marbled glaze to pair with the pack of incense.
