3-D is one of the “it” designs of the 21st century. And here at L+P, we love design.

Bus sheds are typically the antithesis of cool, calm and pure.
But for one week in Paris, Absolut Vodka changed that – Absolut created a campaign that brought an element of pristine white purity to a dingy, bustling bus shed.

To mark their upcoming 140th anniversary, Heineken has launched a global design challenge inviting creative talent across the world to connect through Facebook to form design teams for a bottle of the future.
The ‘Heineken® Limited Edition Design Challenge’ is open for entries until 31st January 2012 and offers anyone the chance to form a creative collaboration with a stranger, by choosing to pair design concepts for Heineken’s next Limited Edition bottle.
The design challenge: Create a bottle design that symbolises how people around the world will connect in the next 140 years.
(feels more social media than beer but you get the point)
The winning duo will see their design launched in an exclusive Limited Edition pack sold around the world from December 2012 to celebrate the anniversary. Added bonus – Winnimg names will also appear on the bottle.
To enter, designers should visit Heineken Facebook tab (yourfuturebottle.com) and download the design brief and toolkit, including the bottle template and Heineken assets. Once completed, designs can be uploaded to the online gallery and to finalise entry the designer must select someone else’s concept to pair with. The virtual duo then forms a creative partnership and the two are submitted as a contender together.
