The main visual element draws inspiration from the Ceiba Speciosa Tree. Though usually found in their native tropics of Brazil and Argentine, this wine’s home Solar da Pena has this species in its garden. By becoming a symbol for this property it was important to reflect it on the label. The pattern of pointy shaped leafs surround the space as if the wind was blowing through them while they’re falling from the tree. This tree’s appearance is surrounded by mystery which is reflected on the use of the copper foil. Full of light, this project aims to be more then a simple label, but a artifact redone wants to have on their shelves.
