Packaging for the Paris-Brest, the dessert created in 1910 as a tribute to a cycling race.

A journey

The name speaks of a journey that goes beyond sport: French gastronomy, art and sophistication. The outer shape takes its inspiration from the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

The illustrations blend the dessert’s ingredients with bicycle parts in a single composition, without losing the elegance of a premium presentation.

I tested different opening systems until I settled on a square wrapped box, with a window that opens with a small ribbon and gold lettering inside.
