Veuve Clicquot DESIGN BOX

DesignBox by Veuve Clicquot
This year during Milan Furniture Fair, Veuve Clicquot is revealing DesignBox - its own exclusive eco-friendly gift box - and showcasing three interpretations of DesignBox : the Comet lamp by Tom Dixon, the Chaise Lounge by Front Design and the VCP cellar by 5.5 Designers. These collaborations will be part of an installation called "Out of The Box" at Superstudio+ during Milan Furniture Fair.

More info about the new eco Veuve Clicquot DesignBox from the press release:

The design and production of DesignBox includes a number of innovations that also reinforce Veuve Clicquot’s commitment to sustainability:
- The box is mono-material - made of just paper - which avoids difficulties associated with recycling and certain fabrication processes that are often polluting
- No plastic lamination (protective plastic film) is used in the box - with inks, glues and solvents representing less than 5% of the total weight of the product
- The paper used comes from forests under management of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), a non-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of our forests.
- Micro-grooving reduces the usage of paper in packaging
- The DesignBox will be launched commercially in June 2009
