Every year since 2009, Verallia France, Europe’s No. 1 producer and a subsidiary of the world’s No. 3 producer of glass packaging for food and beverages, has organized the Verallia Design Awards. A veritable pillar in the glass design landscape, the competition challenges students and recent graduates from design, packaging and fine arts schools to develop their work around this material. This year’s sponsor is Pierre Charrié, a designer renowned for his work on the sensory dimension of everyday objects.
