Telliani Valley launched several limited edition products for the company’s 20th anniversary. Grossmeister (Grandmaster) was one of them. We clearly knew that the product should have had a connection with chess and its look and feel should have been solid/formal, so we headed directly to the chess palace.

The solution was right in front of us – the architectural detail of the palace façade – The Crown. We made the Crown central part of our design. With its simple geometric shape we created pattern, pattern was followed with beautifully crafted typography, typography with die-cut details, die-cut details with black and white colors as on chessboard, as a result, we got a design which is as solid and strategic as chess itself it is a reflection of pure spirit of Grossmeister.

What’s Unique?
Die cut shape of the label which is replicated from the chess palace, (located in Tbilisi, Georgia) unique typography
