Istituto Marangoni Milano • The School of Design is pleased to announce its renewed partnership with Jo Malone London, a renowned fragrance brand, for a new edition of a special project that is highly cherished by both the students of the School of Design and the brand's most loyal customers: the customisation of gift boxes for special events. 

Like last year, the Visual Design department is involved, and Arina Chulkova is the student who submitted the project that won the contest launched by the brand. She won the opportunity to go to the Jo Malone London corner at La Rinascente in Piazza Duomo in Milan on 13, 16 and 17 February. There, she will decorate the gift boxes that have been sold during the Valentine's Day period with her own design.

Arina Chulkova will also have the opportunity to showcase her talent outside the School of Design classrooms. She will put her technical and stylistic skills into practice by bringing to life her sketches that have been studied down to the smallest detail to make the brand's traditional gift boxes look their best. 

"Valentine's Day boxes are more than just a box: they are a testimony to the beauty of love that is embodied in the design, the fragrance itself and its refinement. I tried to represent everyone's idea of romance, whether it is a romantic proposal or the pleasure of having a chocolate bar alone with oneself”.

Arina shared these words to describe her design proposals that will come to life in a few days and contribute to making Valentine's Day even more special. 

Stay tuned to see the final results of the collaboration between the School of Design and Jo Malone London!
