GDS's wine tote, created for Slovenian winemaker Dolfo got the Epica 2009 bronze award as the only Slovenian entry.
GDS's wine tote was created in collaboration with the house of wines Dolfo from Goriška Brda. The aim was to create packaging with an added value of a useful object even after when it no longer serves to protect the gifted bottle. "Winemakers grabbed the idea immediatley, as it enables proper wine storage for consumers, transferring the story of wine and the winemaker into the product as well as upgrades the product with a magnitude of life," commented the results of the Epica Awards GDS designer and author, David Cugelj, and expressed satisfaction that the product was also confirmed by the expert public.
The annual selection of the most prestigious European quality and creative ideas Epica has been giving away the awards in twelve different categories for the past 23 years. 3196 entries through 476 companies from the 48 European countries competed this year and among them there were six Slovenian applicants with a total of 17 entries. Gala awards ceremony will take place on January the 22nd 2010 in the Royal Palace of Alexander II. in Belgrade, hosted by the New Moment magazine.
