J.B. Williams' Country Village
VinCenzo recently produced a line of personal care and bath product tins called Country Village for J.B. Williams. With some unusual shapes and uses, this six piece set is a great example of a creative use of tin packaging. Each of the tins is designed to resemble a homey, small town building, and when combined they create a charming village.
Though the primary purpose of the tins is packaging, they are designed to be reused in various ways once the product has been removed. The bank, for example, has a slot in the lid for change, the post office can be used on a desk to hold mail, and the florist and schoolhouse can be used as a flowerpot and pencil cup.
The village's post office can be used as a desktop letter holder.
The tins are packed with lotions, soaps, bath gels and such, and can be found on the shelves at various drug and chain stores.
