DESIGN NAME: Strehn Winery Packaging Design
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Packaging Design
INSPIRATION: Literally animated by animals. "Going deeper" as a reminiscation, that we should explore the multiple treasures under the surface. Everything consists of several levels and each of them are worthful to explore. It's the same with excellent wine, which delights with significantly more flavors than one. Furthermore these animals visualize the clients devotion to nature.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The label design stands out due to its range of key visuals. The animal motifs create a multidimensional, mysterious image. The distinctive packaging design is supplemented by a font called Piroska, designed by Nikolaus Eberstaller.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The challenge was to create a label that appears concise on the sales shelf alongside its competitors. Wine drinkers are aesthetically-sensitive people. So I had to develop a design that is not only decorative and concise, but that also remains strong in memory. after a short time, the new design was very well received in the trade: by wine merchants, sommeliers, but also by private customers. the market for broadcast wines is europe, asia and the united states.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in January 2016. The design process lasted until November 16, when the clean drawing has been sent to the printer. The labels and the boxes were realized in 2017.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Packaging Design

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The design is inspired by the impossible worlds of M.C. Escher. He designed, among other things, stairs that never ended. Our illustrations lead to a depth that is not real, but still visible. We used a similar technique: The deep illusion is created only by shadows.
CHALLENGE: In order to ensure a purposeful design, we checked the competitors. We wanted to develop a "honest" design that best supports the character of the wines, which are not opulent, but complex and full of finesse. Labels are ideal areas to visualize the attitude of the femal vintner: her access to formal aesthetics, to art, to life. Standing out from the mass was our goal. Sales confirmed us: they increased with the new design, new markets were opened up.
