Midnight blue
A translucent external satin coating gives the cylinder depth with broad, soft reflections. The sheen is developed in the coating, without an acid-etching step.
DESIGN STUDY · DG-002
Vesper 02 Midnight & Platinum
A cylindrical silhouette with deep midnight colour and a restrained silver accent. Cool-white typography gives the front a clear focal point; the satin metal cap completes the vertical composition.
DESIGN DIRECTION
Midnight depth. A silver point of light.
Vesper 02 uses the continuous curve of a cylindrical bottle to carry a soft field of blue. A small silver crescent catches the light above a spaced wordmark. Keeping the artwork within a narrow front sector preserves legibility and avoids the complexity of a full-wrap design. The uncoated heel introduces a clear glass edge beneath the colour.
Cool white
One organic screen-print colour carries the wordmark, number and supporting text. Its opacity is checked over the dark blue finish.
Platinum silver
A silver hot-foil crescent is coordinated with a brushed aluminium cap and silver-tone collar. Physical samples establish the relationship between these surfaces.
BOTTLE & COMPONENTS
A familiar shape, a distinct expression.
The Minimal Cylinder Atomizer in Products provides the silhouette reference. Develop Vesper 02 around a selected cylindrical bottle, a dedicated print fixture and a coordinated silver closure. Confirm capacity and neck finish from the actual component drawings.
- Glass body
- Straight cylindrical sides, rounded shoulder edge and a substantial clear heel.
- Closure direction
- Brushed silver-tone aluminium shell with a fitted insert and coordinated pump collar.
- Final selection
- Confirm capacity, diameter, height, neck finish and pump fit on the selected drawing; define the usable decoration sector.
- Brand artwork
- Supply vector artwork with outlined fonts and separate white-ink and silver-foil layers. Keep the crescent and text away from the shoulder and heel transitions.
PROPOSED DECORATION ROUTE
From clear glass to a coordinated finish.
The sequence below is the development route for this design. Coating, ink, foil and curing conditions must be qualified together on the selected bottle before production.
- 01
Define the front decoration sector
Check bottle diameter, roundness and mould seams. Set a repeatable axial and angular datum in the fixture so the crescent and lettering register consistently.
Approval pointApprove the artwork on a cylindrical proof, including viewing angle and usable print height.
- 02
Clean and mask the glass
Use a cleaning process compatible with the lacquer. Mask the mouth, sealing surfaces and lower clear heel; keep coating out of the bottle interior.
Approval pointConfirm the mask line and that the bottle seats consistently in the fixture.
- 03
Build the midnight satin finish
Spray a compatible translucent navy coating with controlled rotation. Balance coverage and sheen around the circumference; cure to the supplier’s validated schedule.
Approval pointApprove transparency, satin level and circumferential uniformity on physical samples.
- 04
Screen print the white typography
Use a cylindrical screen-print setup with compatible organic white ink. Control rotation and screen travel together; qualify ink cure against the coating underneath.
Approval pointInspect opacity, character edges and registration from the intended front viewing position.
- 05
Hot stamp the silver crescent
Keep the motif compact on the curved front. Qualify a shaped or compliant stamping tool and a foil system compatible with the lacquer, adding a suitable primer or adhesive where needed.
Approval pointValidate full transfer, clean edges, adhesion and the absence of pressure marks on the satin surface.
- 06
Coordinate and fit the silver closure
Develop the brushed aluminium shell, select the insert and compare the collar and cap finishes together. Test the assembly with the selected pump and intended fragrance.
Approval pointApprove cap retention, spray function, leakage results and appearance before production.
SAMPLING & APPROVAL
Approve the appearance. Validate the complete pack.
Colour and sheen
Review the blue finish around the whole cylinder, not only the front. Approve the clear-heel boundary, silver accents and filled appearance against physical master samples under agreed lighting.
Decoration durability
Agree adhesion, rub and scratch checks for the satin coating, white ink and foil. Include fragrance exposure and handling marks, with project-specific methods and acceptance criteria.
Assembly and transport
Validate bottle, pump, cap and insert as one system. Select protective packing that separates decorated surfaces, then agree leak, retention and transit checks.
