Art of Packaging Award Gala to honour Shiseido
Heidi Manheimer and Katsuhiko Shibuya will accept package design award
Pratt Institute and Luxe Pack will honour Shiseido at 2012’s Art Of Packaging Award Gala for its outstanding commitment to package design. Heidi Manheimer, ceo of Shiseido Cosmetics America, and Katsuhiko Shibuya, creative director, Shiseido Co Ltd, will accept the award on behalf of the company during a ceremony, taking place on 17 April in New York.
Since joining Shiseido’s creative team, Shibuya has created award-winning visual communications and packaging design for some of Shiseido’s most important brands, and a love of Japanese painting techniques is often reflected in his work for the company.
