- Manomasa Popped corn chips encapsulates the joy of Latin-American design and culture in its vibrant, celebratory packaging
- Derek&Eric have brought the brand to life with illustrated motifs and bold colorways
Latin-American art and design isn’t short on visual splendor, but the papel picado motif has always been my personal favorite.
Snack brand Manomasa has leveraged papel picado as a design element in its new packaging, which might not feel the most original or innovative—papel picado is already iconic, after all—but that doesn’t matter. You can do no wrong with the celebratory energy of the papel picado as far as I’m concerned, which works equally well as a vibrant visual cue and cultural signifier.
