La Palma - Fabrication BTS
I created a custom soap prototype for
La Palma to be used in a photoshoot showcasing their new design identity.
Having worked extensively with silicone molds, I’ve found they are the best way to achieve a high-end, "mass-produced" look for a one-off prototype. The main challenge for this piece was the bas-relief logo. To solve it, I laser-cut the design and bonded it to a blank soap model.
The process required a two-stage molding technique to create a master mold. This master allowed us to cast multiple identical copies without damaging the original design. To stay as true to the product as possible, we used real soap for the final casting. In total, we developed two versions of the master mold to ensure we had the perfect assets for the shoot.
