The Absolut Company’s line of spirits continues to stand out on the shelf, this time with its redesigned Frïs (pronounced “freeze”) vodka bottle, which earned a 2012 Clear Choice Award from the Glass Packaging Institute (GPI).

For the redesign, the Absolut Company, within the Pernod Ricard group, worked with WPP-owned brand strategy and design consultancy The Brand Union.

The bottle design, which resembles a large shard of ice (inspired by Frïs’ Nordic roots), was awarded First Place in the Distilled Spirits category for innovative glass packaging and shelf impact.

“For this project, our goal was to craft visually stunning packaging that counterbalances the average, clear vodka bottle—resulting in a smoky gray, chiseled exterior that is both elegant and sleek,” explains Richard Bates, chief creative officer of The Brand Union. “The design is crisp, refined and innovative—reflective of our approach to product design, which embraces the visually impactful and imaginative.“
