This year’s Happy Ears Christmas campaign is a poetic return home, to the quiet and calm alternative to a hectic holiday season. Conversations of a calm atmosphere, soft tartan textures and warm welcoming wood resulted in a campaign brought to you as a friendly reminder that Happy Ears offers earplugs for high days, out days, simply – for every day. The earplug to share, to lend and to gift.
We’re proud to present a package created by the Paris based illustrator Julie Guilleme. Known for her previous work with Elle, the Louvre Museum, newspaper Le Monde among others. Together with Julie the project resulted in a creation of playful characters and objects with both more classic Christmas connection but also a subtle nod to music, as it’s a part of our heritage. We’ve been proud partners of some of the world’s largest music festivals including SXSW, Lollapalooza, Reeperbahn, Way Out West and many many more.
Included in the Christmas package is our Ocean Plastics earplug in all three sizes (small, medium and large) made from post-consumer ocean plastics. Working with a material like ocean plastics is our way of showcasing that responsibility, beauty and functionality can coexist. This project shows that good design is not only about how things look, but how they’re made and how they endure. It became a great example of turning waste into something useful, meanwhile continuing to evolve how to work with sustainability.
