We won! Red Dot Award 2023

Simply amazing! With our redesign for Knärzje, we convinced the jury of the Red Dot Award 2023 and won in the discipline “Product Design: Packaging”.

About the Red Dot Award

With around 20,000 entries every year, the Red Dot Design Award is one of the largest design competitions in the world and looks back on a history of over 60 years: in 1955, a jury came together for the first time to evaluate the best designs of the time. In the 1990s, Red Dot CEO Professor Dr. Peter Zec developed the name and brand of the award. Since then, the coveted “Red Dot” award has been the internationally highly respected seal of outstanding design quality.

In 2023, the products submitted were assessed in 51 competition categories. This year's entries came from 60 countries. As different as the products are, they are united by their design quality, which has now also been confirmed by an internationally recognized and independent panel of experts.

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 relaunches third Chantré product

Following the successful relaunch of the classic Chantré Weinbrand and the new product launch of Chantré Crème, echd has now also successfully revamped Chantré Cuvée Rouge, the third product in the range. With a gentle facelift and a slight modernization of all elements, the fruity spirit presents itself more elegantly than ever before. Chantré Cuvée Rouge not only rounds off the brand portfolio in terms of taste, but the three products now also fit together perfectly visually. Chantré Cuvée Rouge is distilled from 100 percent red wine and harmoniously combines the typical softness of Chantré with the full, fruity taste of selected red grapes. Soft like brandy - fruity like red wine: Chantré Rouge is the ideal spirit for aromatic long drinks and sparkling aperitif recipes.

For the relaunch of Chantré Weinbrand and the product launch of Chantré Crème, echd received the prestigious German Design Award just this year.

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 🩵
