Books & Wine
An identity extending beyond the event
Books & Wine is a series of intimate events celebrating artbooks and exceptional wines, hosted by Justina Nekrasaite, The Book Photographer in Amsterdam.
brand narrative and positioning
Justina desired this project to have its own visual identity, to attract a specific, high-end audience, and be recognised as organiser of cultural formats and experiences.
Together, we defined the positioning, narrative and global direction.
an invitation meant to be shared
For the invitation, I designed a perpetual card, where the date is filled in by hand.
The card is designed to be torn into two parts, giving it a double life beyond the event itself: one half to pass on the invitation to a friend, the other to keep as a fancy bookmark.
The card is printed on a purple double-weight stock, using a burgundy red hot-foil reminiscent of wine.
unexpected details
As the event is meant to bring some unexpectedness (not the usual wine tasting), we also created embroidered bracelets quoting “books, wine, repeat”.
A fun, thoughtful detail that make the event extend beyond the moment.
