Isle of Skye Sea Salt Company

Isle of Skye Sea Salt is an award winning sea salt made in harmony with the natural cycle of the seasons. They take crystal clear, mineral-rich sea water and using just the sun and wind, slowly transform it into pure sea salt crystals with a distinct texture and flavour. None of the goodness is removed and no chemicals are added so you can enjoy a completely natural salt. The branding and packaging reflect the environmental nature of the product; the packaging is made from 90% recycled stock and is designed to be reused. During the first year of production Isle of Skye Sea Salt Company have won three awards: Great Taste Award, Highlands & Islands Environmental Award and Scotland Food & Drink Awards Finalist. My main role in this project was to design a 75g version of the salt tub to sit alongside the larger 150g tub. The tub was intended to be used as a lower price point item to introduce new customers. This included research, design, mock ups, and experimenting to find a size best suited to sit with the existing tub on shelves that would also be functional to use in the kitchen. Designed at Eighth Day Design under the creative direction of Sarah Chesworth.
