DESIGN NAME: Piero di Gardi
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bottle of wine
INSPIRATION: First of all an old chest was explored in the attic. This wine label design was inspired by the love letters betwen Austrian officer and young Czech girl from the begining 19th century. And here is the story from old chest:
When the eyes of an Austrian officer and a young Czech girl first met in 1913, none of them knew how strong the bond of unfulfilled love would enter their hearts.
Marie was only 17 years of age. Her parents had promised her to the son of a landowner from a neighbouring village. However, Marie was so charmed by the Piero di Gardi a young Austrian officer that she could not think about anyone else. For long months she confided to him her feelings on small pieces of paper, and the young officer gave his love in return.
However during the battle of Gallicia by the end of summer 1914 a stray bullet ended the young officer´s life. Marie stowed her last unfinished letter, beside a bundle of letters from her beloved officer, into a military wooden chest in the attic. There it remained hidden for 87 long years.
Love letters full of desire and passion were found during the renovation of the old house where Marie once lived. The story they told became the inspiration for the art design of the wine label, on which there are letters from the young lovers and rolls of paper with secret messages.
The young Czech girl was the grandmother of the creator of the wine label. The artwork, in likeness of these letters, symbolizes the join of two beautiful people. Their fate was not in favour to them but their story stays forever.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Design of handwritten wine label symbolizes love letters between a young Czech girl and an Austrian officer. Two manuscripts of young beautiful people are penetrace on the wine label which symbolize the story of unfulfilled love.Rolls of paper hanging on the neck of the bottle are secret love messages. The whole concept is supported by a believable story from the beginning of the World War One.
Design, manuscript,story, rolls of paper these are significant attributes which distinguish our project from competitive brands and affect the customer in his decision making.
