BERLIN PACKAGING | BRUNI GLASS DESIGN AWARD
Milan • 16 November 2022 • 4 min read
For over 20 years the competition has transformed the dreams and aspirations of young design students into concretely professional results and represents the company’s commitment to bringing constant innovation to the world of luxury packaging
Milan, 16 November 2022 – Berlin Packaging, the world’s largest Hybrid Packaging Supplier® specialising in the supply of glass, plastic and metal packaging and closures, has announced the winners of the 16th edition of the Berlin Packaging | Bruni Glass Design Award.
Founded in 1997, the initiative proposes a workshop-competition dedicated to design, aimed at students of the leading universities in order to create new and innovative forms of packaging to be presented on the market. Strong collaborations with renowned design institutes around the world – including Polytechnic University of Milan, the IED of Madrid and that of Milan, the UCSF of Santa Fe, University of the Arts London and the Weissensee Hochschule of Berlin among others – the competition gave students an opportunity to create five prototypes for each of the four categories of the reference sectors for Berlin Packaging (Spirits, Oil and Vinegar, Wine and Home Fragrances).
Students have tried to devise increasingly innovative solutions with the aim of offering contemporary packaging, in line with market and cutting-edge trends. For each category, a first and a second place were selected, and then an overall winner was chosen.
“We are proud to present the winners of this edition of the competition, especially as it returns after a stop due to Covid. For us at Berlin Packaging, it is really exciting to offer talented young people the chance to embrace their technical and creative skills, and we look forward to understanding which of these projects will be most successful among our customers. For the company, this competition represents an important tradition that over the years has helped to highlight our nature as innovators and our commitment to finding solutions that are not only always up to date, but that anticipate market trends. Therefore, we intend to continue investing in this project, relaunching it in future years, together with the most important design schools in the world.”
