Maison Manifacier.
Packaging and illustration system for a natural skincare brand rooted in slow, intentional ritual.
Maison Manifacier is a French skincare house founded by Marine, whose approach weaves herbalism, olfactology and what she calls soins-souvenirs — treatments built around memory, each formula a small act of remembrance.
Marine already had an identity when she brought me on. My role was to extend her voice into a full product universe — one that could hold its first serum and the collection yet to come, without ever feeling like a shelf.
Birds have always been present in Marine's life. We built the illustration language around them: each product paired with a specific bird, drawn by hand in watercolor.
02 — The collection
Three formulas, three birds.
Three birds · one hand
Watercolor on cream paper
Memory, painted in watercolor.— The illustration brief
The paper box carries the full text; the black glass is pared down to the essentials — the illustration, the logo and the product name. The restraint is deliberate — on a shelf full of promises, Marine's wanted to look like a page from a book of hours rather than a product.
The system is open. Each new formula earns its own bird, drawn to the same hand.
