Design principle is a minimalism. Graphic elements of vodka's design were inspired by the ancient Russian and European cross-stitch embroideries.

AS: To achive the goal in creating a premium brand "KASATKA" I have used a minimalist approach in the design ( the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the maximum effect), both in the form of a bottle, and in the colors. A simple cylindrical bottle and a limited range of colors (white, shades of gray, black) emphasize the crystalline purity of the product, elegance and style
