💫 We are excited to unveil Woamy’s new modular inserts for Pau La Design popsicles! 🌿💚🍭

One of Woamy’s most delicate and delightful projects yet: creating circular, protective packaging for the stunning glass popsicle sculptures by Paula Pääkkönen, the artist behind , in collaboration with .

These iconic art pieces, featured in Benetton’s Milan shop windows, are all hand-blown, fragile, and heavy, each one unique in size and shape. Our challenge was to design a solution that’s adjustable, protective, and recyclable with cardboard. 📦♻️

Together with Paula, Woamians developed a modular insert system made from Woamy biofoam, ensuring tight protection for every piece while keeping sustainability at the core.

💬 “Besides of being an ecological and beautiful solution, the material is ideal for glass since it gives a slight grip and friction... I am glad to introduce Woamy’s biofoam with my art pieces.”
Paula Pääkkönen, Pau La Design

💭 “Woamy biofoam creates a striking contrast with the artwork, highlighting its unique character and emphasizing its values.”
Imola Balogh, Designer at Woamy
