The statistics are stark: 26 million disposable packages end up in landfill every day. Rollr sought to create an antidote to this, by transforming an easily disposed item, underarm deodorant, into something to be kept and treasured. Shifting the perception of sustainable products from functional to indulgent.
We defined the solution as, “Conscious hedonism", the idea that we shouldn't have to choose between what feels good and what is good. To translate this philosophy into physical form, we disrupted category norms by drawing inspiration from high-end perfumery rather than typical deodorant packaging. A sculpted glass bottle features a modular, patented screw-top which can be refilled with zero waste sachets. This custom method reduces packaging and shipping materials by 90%.
The infinitely refillable bottle contains a patented screw cap and a choice of ethically sourced gem stones. Sachets of scented product made from TG188 paper are mixed by the user at home to create the final deodorant.
A rolling, liquid-like brand identity
The brand language creates a balance of structure and fluidity, to evoke Rollr’s longevity and its smooth, refreshing application. An elegant custom wordmark and deep burgundy primary colour draw inspiration from the world of perfumery. The brand’s motion design continues the rolling motif, with a rippling effect that mirrors the glass bottle’s surface texture.
Vertical grid lines signal the strength and permanence of the bottle’s paneled glass body. The clean and modern Kalice typeface creates a refined contrast to the more expressive elements.


The logo is a custom-drawn wordmark with a liquid-like curve in the ‘R’ and a rotated counter in the ‘o’ to suggest a rolling motion. The bodily burgundy primary colour is contrasted with bright pastels inspired by the vetiver, juniper and mandarin-based fragrances.


A moment of pleasure that you can feel
We defined a sensorial photography style for the brand, shot by Veega Studio, which shows the statuesque bottle through blurred and dynamic viewpoints, capturing what it feels like to apply the product and enjoy its unique scents.
The Conscious Hedonist tone of voice leans into the fact that we shouldn’t have to choose between what feels good, and what is good. Manifesting in a gutsy, magnetic voice, it encourages customers to indulge responsibly.







“Mother Design understood our vision from the outset and brought it to life with an identity that reflects both indulgence and responsibility. Their approach was deeply collaborative, ensuring that every aspect of Rollr, from the bottle to the brand world, aligned with our commitment to creating a refillable deodorant that feels as good as it looks.”
