How to work on the "emotional" dimension of packaging while strengthening the creative autonomy of teams? This presentation will address the fascinating question of the double dimension of packaging, both "objectifiable/ factual" on the criteria of functionality, innovation, aesthetic codes and "subjective/emotional" from which emerges sensoriality, emotion and affect. Our two speakers will present "Sense & Story", a tool specially designed for this double dimension.
