Studio Xag

the brief

Prop Studios were commissioned by Studio Xag to produce five oversized translucent pink hearts. These replicated the new Diesel perfume bottles as part of a larger marketing initiative.

Customers felt the connection between the flagship stores and the wider Diesel marketing campaign.

Displayed in the brand’s UK and Paris flagship stores, Prop Studios created the hearts by 3D scanning the original Diesel perfume bottle
Prop Studios sprayed each heart in a specially-formulated Candy translucent spray, colour-matched to the glass perfume bottle perfectly
Finishing details were added to make the hearts look like replica perfume bottles.

design & manufacture

Displayed in the brand’s UK and Paris flagship stores, the hearts were created by 3D scanning the original Diesel perfume bottle, then a high-quality faceted tool was created from this. This tooling was then used to vacuum-form, the result being crystal clear glass-like pulls.

The forms were then sprayed in a specially-formulated Candy translucent spray, colour matched to the glass perfume bottle perfectly. Finishing details were added to make the hearts look like replica perfume bottles.
