Have you been a student or a graduate for less than a year? Take part in the 8th edition of the Gainerie 91 design competition, of which Intramuros is a partner. In relation to the 2021 theme “Storytelling: when packaging tells the story…”, the participants will have to translate the commitment of a brand in a project by imagining a new experience for the user. Given the health context, the organizers have revised the course schedule and extended the submission of applications until May 28.
Based on the principle that “luxury cannot be bought, [qu’]he lives ”, the Gainerie 91 design competition proposes to imagine a case, a box or even a POS which tells the story of a (fictitious) brand, which shares a commitment or values, which facilitates the understanding of the product and its inclusion in the world of luxury. Projects must fall into one of the following categories: watchmaking and jewelry, perfumes and cosmetics, wines and spirits, small leather goods. All materials are authorized and the realization of a model or a prototype recommended. At the end of the Gainerie 91 Design Competition, the winners’ projects will be produced within the entities of the Gainerie 91 group.
