Pack Deco

Pack Deco is a project by Patricia Keleher and Christian Vismara. We collect and photograph the best traditional packagings.

We felt the need of preserving the histories behind those beautiful items because that’s what made us appreciate them more, creating a connection with the humans behind the production and invention of these products.

We like to believe we’re giving our contribution in spreading the voice, so that more people can start appreciating and using those products, helping those small companies to survive.
