RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This packaging has five colours of package that equally of chess board. The bottle design was not create for repeat the classical shape of chess and was made more for to show something new with idea of old. Also main idea was create unusual forms of lids which remind the water splashes. Each splash imitated the top part of figure. For to create this type of splatters were taken the different subjects that fell to water and therefore each splash has only own form not similar to other.
CHALLENGE: The most complicated at this packaging was to create interesting splashes for lid of wine bottles. Also the bottles had to have not classical form of glass and should to be good recognisable but at the same time to shows something new at the design idea about chess. The materials that were choosen for this it is mat glass and wood. The glass gives cold shine reflection and wood is warm on surfase that also looks as apposite like packaging name "Liquid Chess" that not exist in real world.
