Overview
Luminéa, inspired by the French word “lumin” meaning “light,” is a lively wine brand crafted for a youthful and vibrant French audience. The name embodies a bright, uplifting experience reminiscent of sunshine. The packaging draws from iconic European awnings, blending the timeless charm of street architecture with the rustic essence of wine barrels. This unique pairing offers a fresh yet nostalgic vibe, balancing tradition with modernity, perfectly tailored to the brand’s sophisticated yet youthful audience.
Challenges
The primary challenge in creating Luminéa’s packaging was capturing European elegance while resonating with a contemporary young audience. The design needed to strike a harmonious balance between minimalism and sophistication, embodying the brand’s light-hearted spirit without diminishing its classic wine heritage. Additionally, seamlessly combining the barrel motif with architectural elements of European awnings required careful design to ensure both elements coexisted without overwhelming the visual appeal.
The Result
Luminéa’s final design achieves a seamless blend of tradition and modernity. Soft gradients, inspired by sunlit European streets and historic wine cellars, contribute to a youthful, welcoming look. Subtle references to the barrel and awnings honor the brand’s heritage while appealing to a minimalist, modern audience. Clean lines and vibrant colors allow the packaging to stand out on the shelf, conveying the bright, refreshing character of Luminéa wines while attracting a young, stylish clientele.
