Melissa Boardman x Govino

Last year I had the pleasure of collaborating with Govino - a company that makes reusable shatterproof glasses as a replacement for disposable cups at events. They wanted to create a set of limited edition native bird themed glasses to celebrate Bird of The Year, and asked me to designs 4 birds to be printed onto their glasses. I welcomed the challenge designing for such a small area, I wanted the birds to still have detail and not just be silhouettes, and also include a bit of their habitat. The birds we chose to be featured on the glasses were kakī/Black Stilt, kea, pīwakawaka/Fantail, and kererū! I’m really happy with how the glasses turned out, I think they look super special, there are currently a few sets left over on the Govino website.
