The 2024 design competition for students

“Glass, reinventing stories”

Glass combines tradition with modernity: over the millennia, it has created a unique emotional bond with consumers and ensured the best possible protection of flavours.

Design a glass bottle or jar, making the most of the creative and modern powers of glass. Use your inspiration to reinvent the traditions and future of France’s gastronomic heritage (wine, beer and soft drinks, spirits, food).

You are encouraged to disrupt design codes by boldly exploring new trends in local and sustainable consumption. Innovate with a design that highlights the identity of the product and preserves the integrity of environmental resources while remaining in a spirit of sharing.

The day began with an introduction to the glassmaking process and a presentation of the competition. The students then had the opportunity to get to the heart of the world of glass, thanks to passionate professionals who revealed the secrets of glassmaking at the Vauxrot factory.
