Founded by master pastry chef Takashi Ochiai in 1983, Ochiai Patisserie in Barcelona has become a celebrated name in Japanese confectionery, renowned for its delicate Daifuku and vibrant creations, Mochiai and Minimochi. These colorful, artisanal pastries are not only a delight to the palate but also a visual feast, elevating the art of dessert to a sensory experience.

Our studio had the privilege of designing the packaging for Ochiai’s exquisite confections, crafting elegant and functional solutions that highlight the beauty and sophistication of the treats inside. Each gift box was carefully designed to evoke a sense of luxury, transforming Mochiai and Minimochi into thoughtful and memorable gifts.

Adding a distinctive touch to the project, we created custom bags using a single sheet of fine cardboard, folded using traditional origami techniques. These minimalist yet sturdy bags can carry up to five pastries, offering a perfect balance of sleek design and practicality.

Throughout the process, we prioritized material efficiency and space-saving solutions, ensuring that the packaging reflected both the artisanal quality of the pastries and a commitment to sustainability. By blending eco-conscious principles with a refined aesthetic, the packaging embodies the elegance and care that define Ochiai Patisserie.

With this project, we celebrate the art of gifting—where every detail, from the pastry to the packaging, tells a story of craftsmanship, beauty, and thoughtfulness.
