Yaka by Quatre Mains

A food brand authentically rooted in its African culture, Yaka' range of locally produced spicy pastes and spreads was in need of a new brand and packaging identity. Quatre Mains created the Yaka mother figure, whose expertise sources the recipes and whose beauty personifies the rich tastes of Africa. Dressed in traditional fashion she brings the colour and diversity across the range and puts a wink and an infectious smile on everything she touches. A true feast for the taste buds and a true translation of African flavours.

Mezcal Eterno by The Branding People

Developed by Mexican design studio The Branding People, Mezcal Eterno is the new mezcal that goes perfectly with lavish, free, and fashion-forward lifestyles. Inspired by celestial and heavenly bodies, a typography expressing a sense of luxury was selected along with a dark and sharp colour palette that sets the brand apart from traditional mezcal brands. This is topped with metallic details that enforce the celestial concept and refer to the galactic sense behind the brand while supporting the luxury aesthetic.

Yula by rolling.studio

Premium tights brand Yula has released a new limited edition ladies collection, based on black, gray, burgundy, green, nude and light tan tights of the highest quality.

rolling.design has developed a universal packaging, but at the same time it is individual for each model. The color of the package, as an indicator, helps to select only the necessary tights from the collection. Smooth pure cellulose paper and muted colors convey a sense of naturalness of the raw materials used in the production of tights, and gold foil stamping emphasizes the premium quality of the product.

Three Chain Road by Design Energy

Throughout the label design, a chain link shape is used as the dominant graphic icon, creating a connection to the logo and reinforcing the brand messaging. Soft, modern colour combinations and silver foil layering create a metallic surface that evokes the image of a metal chain, reinforcing the range name. A decorative chain pattern that wraps around the neck serves as a final touch.

Cielo Sommerso by Superunion

Cielo Sommerso is a unique bio-dynamic white wine from Tenuta San Marcello in Italy. The makers have faithfully followed an ancient technique of ageing the wine in clay pots, buried underground for a period of eight months.

Taking inspiration from this ancient method, Superunion developed a unique mixture of Marche soil, taken directly from the vineyard, and glue to create a golden clay seal which enfolds the bottle, bringing a unique ageing method to life in a tactile and visual way to intrigue and delight the senses. Celebrating the deeper bond that Cielo Sommerso has with its land, by carrying a piece of it with every bottle.
