Wine and Chess Case combines a wine case with a chess game. When the cover of the case is turned upside down, it reveals a chessboard alternating red and cream squares corresponding to the brand colors of the producer - Chateau La Grace Dieu des Prieurs and its wine collection. The leather covering the external faces is also of a brand red color. The case is functional: it contains 6 bottles that are safely nestled in the special niches. There are also two spaces for the bags with chess pieces inside. The aim of this design is sustainability and the creation of 2nd life for luxury packaging.
Chateau La Grace Dieu des Prieurs is the innovative wine estate in Bordeaux region, France (Saint-Emilion Grand Cru). The winery is designed by the world-famous architect Jean Nouvel. Chateau produces one wine per year labeled with 12 different artworks. The name of the collection is Art Russe. Chateau constantly is working on the packaging design based on sustainability principles and aims to create packaging that would be reusable after opening the wine bottles.
