Hortivations is a trade exhibition run by Ball Australia to showcase new plants, ideas, and trends in horticulture, with Norwood as a key sponsor in 2011.
Product: 3D DIY bee puzzle
Print Specifications: UV offset printing technology
Design Elements: Interactive, self-assembled bee model with custom product packaging
Our contribution to the event was themed around bees and their vital role in the horticultural industry. As part of the sponsorship package, Norwood’s industrial designers created a 3D DIY puzzle that, when assembled, forms a bee model. This unique handout proved so popular that we still offer it to clients today.
For the photoshoot, we decided a bee farm would provide the perfect setting, and photographer Tom bravely agreed to work in a bee zone. Fortunately, after consulting John at Pure Peninsula Honey, we learned that the bees had migrated north for winter—and John advised against using live bees for the shoot anyway, to avoid the risk of a few too many stings!
John, who has quite the personality, also offered to model for the shoot. Judging by the newspaper clippings in his office, he’s no stranger to being in front of the camera, but he had never done a shoot like this. As you can see, the Norwood bee is still going strong, and soon it will even be available for purchase in his store! If you’d like one for yourself, send us an email, and we’d be happy to send one your way.
