Jacky Tsai × La Mer — 2020 Limited Edition

29th Nov 2020

In 2020, La Mer invited Jacky Tsai to reimagine the iconic Crème de la Mer jar. The limited-edition design brings his distinctive dialogue between Eastern imagery and Western pop sensibility to the brand’s marine world, extending the artwork across the jar and its presentation packaging.

A Sea of Inspiration

Inspired by La Mer’s founding story, Tsai created a narrative of discovery, renewal and hope. A young woman’s journey through the ocean unfolds among sea kelp, water and light. The rhythms of sound, light and water echo the story of the brand’s Miracle Broth, translating its marine inspiration into the artist’s richly layered visual language.

From Artwork to Packaging

Deep blue provides the setting for coral, sea life and cloud-like forms in contrasting colours. These details travel around the box and continue into the unfolding presentation, allowing the composition to be discovered from different angles. Seen against the sea, the packaging connects the collaboration’s imagined underwater world with the landscape that inspired it.
