Natural Self Flacon by formboten

Natural Self is a biodegradable flacon (perfume bottle) designed by Hanover-based formboten. The outer case is made of cork and the inner body is made of PLA, a compostable thermoplastic. The reduced cork body is in an interesting relation to its white deep drawn, blister-type bioplastic.

When the flacon gets closed a slitted closure covers the overhang of the PLA as a protection against skewing. A small PLA-label with the logo reveals the name of the fragrance which is scheduled for a natural cosmetic product.
