Entry Description

The August Smart Lock is a device that fits over your
existing deadbolt and syncs to your phone, unlocking
your door as you approach and locking behind you. To
parallel the product experience, we designed the August
packaging as a front door – with a perfectly sized graphic
of the lock over an image of a door handle. With its
rectangular shape and beautiful wooden background
imagery, the structural “door” opens exactly as a front
door would, revealing a minimalist interior. Upon
opening, the lock itself is the only thing visible, tucked
inside black cardboard to hold it in place. Above the lock
is the only visible line of text exclaiming, “You’re Invited”
– the lock’s signature motto. By pulling up on the
invitation, the paper lifts to reveal the few pieces of
mounting hardware, as well as a hidden folder with the
instruction manual. No other materials are in the box,
keeping it both sustainable and minimal.
