Info

Lucio is a pasta brand inspired by the warmth and color of everyday Italian cooking. The project reimagines traditional pasta packaging, replacing muted beige tones with a visual system that feels vibrant, flavorful, and alive. The name Lucio, meaning “light” in Italian, reflects the brand’s sense of brightness and joy. Each color corresponds to its sauce—green for pesto, yellow for cheese, red for tomato—allowing the packaging to tell the story of taste at a glance. Typography, line illustrations, photography, and recipe integration come together to form a cohesive design system that brings authenticity and appetite back to the shelf.
