Electric Packaging
It’s more than just black and white. Ours is a monochrome palette which uses black and white to create a design-led look that looks great on the shelves of great salons, or in the hands of influential hair stylists, session workers or educators.
Taking inspiration from the pioneering style which exploded from 1960’s London, the use of geometric monochrome patterns during this period are synonymous with swinging London and represent the vibrancy and creativity of the leading British figures around at this time - Mary Quant, Vidal Sassoon, David Bailey, Mods, The Beatles etc.
Electric are proud of this British heritage and have looked to continue this classic look historically across the brand, using monochrome designs for their packaging and throughout their brand identity, continuing the British pioneering spirit worldwide with the unique products we develop and create.
