Our next maker highlight is Martina from Blackmarket. Martina created Blackmarket, to challenge how we deliver and consume personal care products. Since then Blackmarket has won the 2021 UAL creative enterprise award in innovation and successfully launched a crowdfunding campaign reaching 123% of the target. We spoke with her about her favourite product, the refillable soap bottle.
What is your favourite piece?
Blackmarket’s refillable bottle is one of my favourite pieces
What is the inspiration behind this piece?
The inspiration behind the bottle was to make sustainability easy and encourage people to refill their hand wash.
What do you wish to achieve with the refillable soap bottle and what message do you want it to convey to your audience?
I want to redefine how people think of packaging. It needs to be seen as precious, something we should reuse again and again
