Nhan'

Workshop with Pepsico and Design Group Italia
From the Brazilian Indigenous Energy God Nhandevuruçu

In our pursuit of ambitious goals, Nhan’—inspired by the Brazilian energy god Nhandevuruçu—offers a boost of energy, creativity, and performance. Nhan’ is a snack designed as three square bites, reimagining the traditional Brazilian “dadinho” tapioca snack into a healthy and nourishing option.

The recipe combines mate for energy, cashews for vitamins, the sweetness of honey, and the spice of merkén, creating a balanced and flavorful break for busy moments.

Packaging Innovation
What sets Nhan’ apart from other healthy snacks is its soft interior texture. To maintain this texture while ensuring a long shelf life, the packaging was designed as a heat-sealable flow pack made from seaweed, aligning with sustainability goals.

This project was developed in collaboration with Soledad Diaz and Fan Yeh.
