Wow!!! 😱 💛Best of Show for , 1st Place for and 2nd Place

Thank you so much for this incredible recognition. It means a lot. Thanks to the Jury; we’re truly honored. It’s both humbling and energizing, and a wonderful reminder to keep doing what we love!

Thank you to Andrew and the team at the Dieline for the work you are doing, for seeking out the most inspiring and beautiful packaging, and for believing that packaging and storytelling can make a difference.

We’d also like to thank Linus from Varus, who started a distillery in Lübbecke three years ago and trusted us to shape the identity and packaging for their products—and, most importantly, to explore a new kind of drinking ritual together. A special thanks to for her beautiful illustration and to the skilled porcelain makers whose hands and knowledge keep this craft alive 🙌

Cheers to all our amazing clients and collaborators ✨

Varus 775 is a family-owned distillery based in Lübbecke, Germany, near the Teutoburg Forest. Rooted in a landscape first documented in 775 AD, the brand draws from regional history, nature, and craftsmanship to create premium spirits with a distinct local identity. 🥃

Ceramic vessels have long shaped how we store and enjoy drinks—from Roman amphorae and medieval clay alambics to stoneware bottles defining regional spirits like Genever and Steinhäger. Even after glass became dominant, ceramics remained culturally significant, resurfacing in the 20th century for serving aperitifs.
Drawing on this tradition, we created a contemporary porcelain vessel that connects Roman craftsmanship, distillation history, and the region’s ceramic heritage. Produced in small batches and available in three colors, it transforms serving into a distinctive ritual.🏺

Varus 775 echoes an old tale about choosing peace and prosperity over conflict 🏛️🥃

It reflects a turning point in history when stability, trade, and collaboration proved more powerful than conquest. At its core, the project redefines success—not through war and expansion, but through shared prosperity and lasting cultural connection.

Go get your coffee online ☕️

After successfully rebranding and redesigning Stereoscope’s identity and packaging, we turned our attention to rebuilding its digital presence. Our ambition was to create an e-commerce experience where the products take center stage—an environment that feels considered, progressive, and deeply aligned with Stereoscope’s philosophy. Beyond e-commerce, the platform opens up space for richer storytelling and a more immersive brand experience. The iconic boxes became the focal point of the site, presented in 3D to bring a sense of tactility into the digital realm. This not only enhances user engagement with the products but also provides the internal team with an efficient system for introducing and managing new product releases. Rooted in the maxim “In pursuit of depth and simplicity,” introduced by founder the website expands the role of e-commerce into something more reflective and experiential.

To reinforce the idea of coffee as a living organism, we introduced a first-person narrative from the perspective of the Arabica plant—paired with an audio player that weaves the storytelling directly into the browsing journey. Developed by the platform integrates Shopify with Sanity, creating a flexible content ecosystem that supports both editorial storytelling and everyday operational needs ✨

A little more drama, please... 🏛️🎭

The theatre has always operated through a sense of formality and unspoken rules — rituals for how to enter, sit, and observe. Here the ordinary becomes ceremonial. The identity for turns ordinary actions into something almost performative. Everyday gestures — raising a glass, lowering one’s voice, exchanging a glance — becomes a cue within a subtle choreography.

In this house the stage does not end at the footlights. It spills into the bar, into the clinking of glasses, the hush before a show, and the murmurs at intermission. Here we are all performers — by presence if not by script.

Lifting the curtain on the identity for Theaterbaren 🌈 🙌🏼

Since 1899, Nationaltheatret in Oslo has been a stage for the finest in Norwegian performing arts. From Henrik Ibsen’s timeless dramas to contemporary experimental productions, the theatre has shaped Norway’s cultural identity. Designed by Henrik Bull, the building stands as a landmark of Historicism — a dialogue between past and present. Neo-Baroque grandeur meets neo-Rococo interiors, classical Greek and Roman ornament, and Art Nouveau vitality. The architecture was conceived to express continuity, ceremony, and cultural permanence.

When commissioned to develop the identity for a new public bar in the theatre’s second-floor foyer, the challenge was twofold: to respect the architectural and cultural weight of the institution and its theatre audience, while creating a space that felt social, playful, and accessible to anyone who is just stopping by for a drink 🥃 🍸

Ciao Treblasé!

In early 2025 we got a call from Simonetta and Luca of the Bosso family in Torino. In 1930, Simonetta´s grandparents moved to Turin and opened «Trattoria Bottiglieria Bosso». Thanks to warm hospitality and accessible prices, the Trattoria quickly become successful, allowing them to acquire «La Ditta Foglia», a liqueur distillery at the Docks of Porta Nuova. Simonetta asked us to rediscover and reinterpret her family’s heritage, relaunching their Genzianella recipe as a contemporary aperitif- without evoking the ornate 19th century imagery traditionally associated with classic Turin Vermouth. Going through their family photos we found one from their Trattoria that looked just like a painting from Fortunato Depero. A testament that Futurism captures the energy, dynamism and optimism of the aperitivo culture, and a way to honor the city of Torino as the aperitivo´s birthplace.
