We won! German Design Award Special 2023

echd has won an award! With our KNÄRZJE project, we impressed the jury of the German Design Awards 2023 and won the Special Mention in the “Excellent Communications Design: Packaging” discipline. We are very happy about this award, as it also represents a wonderful end to our first year as echd.

About the project
KNÄRZJE brews beer from leftover bread and was recently awarded the sustainability prize in a program on VOX. By redesigning the packaging and developing the product communication, we have now taken the brand experience beyond the moment of purchase and consumption. We transferred the brand's commitment to sustainability and climate neutrality to the printed inside of the 4-pack and the back label of the bottles, for example.

echd wins the German Design Award

We are absolutely thrilled! With the relaunch of Chantré Weinbrand and the launch of Chantré Crème, we were honored at this year's German Design Awards in the category Excellent Communications Design - Packaging.

Three years ago, we were entrusted with the reworking of the classic brandy while at the same time designing the new product Chantré Crème - a new product aimed primarily at a younger and predominantly female target group.

When relaunching Chantré brandy, it was important for us to retain the existing core brand values while integrating its USP - the soft taste - into the design. We achieved this with a new label form, a gentle logo optimization and a warm cream tone in the label. A total of 4,300 entries from 59 countries were submitted for this year's German Design Award.

We dedicate this award to our recently deceased colleague Noam Katz. He accompanied this project in the Print Production department for many years and, with his 100% accuracy and expertise, ensured that the realization worked out so beautifully. Thank you Noam 🩵
