COMO, Italy, April 26, 2014 /DesignNewswire/ A' Design Award & Competition has announced that Lithuanian vodka Gold. Black Edition Bottle decor by Studija Creata, designed for Stumbras, has been granted the Golden A' Design Award in the Packaging Design category.

Regarding Lithuanian vodka Gold. Black Edition Bottle decor
The gold-shining “Lithuanian vodka Gold. Black Edition” inherited its exclusive look from Lithuanian folk art. Rhombus and herringbones, combined from little squares, are very common patterns in Lithuanian folk art. Although reference to these national motifs gained more modern forms – mysterious past reflections were transformed into modern art. Predominant golden and black colours emphasize the exceptional vodka filtration process through coal and golden filters. This is what makes “Lithuanian vodka Gold. Black Edition” so delicate and crystal clear.
