To celebrate 150th anniversary of profound Georgian painter Nikala Pirosmani, Teliani Valley decided to come up with a souvenir wine, red and white in a single pack. Intended to be for export markets mostly, this brand had to bear more of exclusivity and uniqueness, at the same time request was to step aside from standard packaging and traditional labeling.

To keep things fresh we decided to take a different approach, instead of using instantly identifiable to practically every art lover, primitivist style, painter's works, we concentrated on Pirosmani's uniquely survived photographic portrait.

Pirosmani red semi-sweet wine naturally made from the Saperavi grape variety cultivated in the Akhoebi vineyards of the Kardanakhi village in the Alazani Valley. The wine is fermented in clay jars buried in the ground, an ancient Kakhetian wine-making technique.

︎
Pirosmani white semi-sweet wine made from a 40% Tsolikauri, 60% Tsitska blend. It has won 3 gold medals and one silver medal at international competitions.

Inspired by characteristic grainy photographs in old newspapers, this design work mostly focuses on a persona of the artist, psychological authenticity which can be read in the eyes of the painter, looking at us from another epoch.

The uncountable black grains of small and bigger sizes symbolize splattered in time and space paintings by Nikala, which mostly were painted on simple black cloth, as he assumed it was more convenient material for his unique naive style.

Niko Pirosmani, a Georgian primitivist painter, orphaned at a young age, was characterized by the naïve, childlike simplicity of his subject matter and technique. He taught himself to paint as a child, creating his own oil for painting, and his specialty was painting directly onto black oil cloth.

REPUBLIC —

Entertainment Area & Public Space

From the beginning of its origin, mankind was striving to unite. Some argue that it's the main reason why we survived and reached prosperity as a race.

⦻ — rēs (“thing”, “affair”) + pūblica (“public”). Literally meaning “public affair”.

Meant to play an important role in the social and cultural life of Tbilisi, REPUBLIC is based in the center of the city, its a four storey building, it combines concert space, restaurant, wine shop, showrooms, and other types of institutions.

Built around the letter "R", four circles in the logotype for REPUBLIC, represent four floors of the building and at the same time a schematic representation of a hypothetical state where every individual is heard and empowered to play his or her part for wellbeing of everyone involved.

⦻ — A circle is a plane figure bounded by one line, and such that all right lines drawn from a certain point within it to the bounding line, are equal. The bounding line is called its circumference and the point, its centre.

DEFINING GREEN — PLANT SHOP

Intentionally plain, identity for Plant Shop is of two colors - black and white. This simplified palette underlines ambitious mission of the brand - to become a home for plant enthusiasts and bring educational function to local communities.

What makes Plant Shop unique compared to other competitors is its willingness to educate people. Seminars, masterclasses, lectures on all topics ralated to plants and garden, are often held by Plant Shop.

Considering all of the above, eventually we developed not a single logo, but a system of logotypes and symbols which organically fits into the brand philosophy and makes the brand standing out.
