The Brief

To launch the new solar power technology in LG GD510 and to demonstrate the benefits of using a solar-powered phone, especially for the environment.

How the final design was conceived

We created a special packaging that doubles as a plant pot, with soil and seeds. Just take out the phone and pour some water into the pack. In just a few days, a plant starts growing.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The pack increased awareness on LG's solar power technology in the GD510 mobile phone. Each one contributes to our collective effort to make our planet a greener place.
