Blossa Annual Limited Edition 2012

Since 2003, Blossa launched an annual limited edition of bottle each year called Glögg. Glögg, mulled wine, is one of the most traditional and popular elements in Swedish Christmas celebrations. Therefore, this launch is considered one of the prime happenings for the Swedish glögg lover.

"From 2011 on, we created the design concept based on new and interesting places where Blossa travels to find inspiration and exciting flavors.  In 2012, the trip went to Japan and the coordinates on the bottle guide us to the city of Kochi on the island of Shikoku where the yuzu fruit grows. We then mixed yuzu with ginger to create this year’s flavor."

The folks at jkr run an annual design competition for students. After another year of exceptional entries, jkr announce the results for 2013! This year, it was all about honey, tapping into the trend for urban beekeeping. From New York to London, Tokyo to Madrid, urban beehives are becoming incredibly popular due to the exceptional quality of honey they can produce. With this in mind, jkr briefed students to construct a brand for the urban beekeeper’s company.

"We were looking for students to consider naming, product range and packaging as well as exploring how the brand would work across other touch points. The ambition was to get people thinking outside the jar and beyond the bee, and we weren’t disappointed."
