„MATTER OF TASTE“
It is an invitation to return to something deeply human in design the ability to sense, to choose, and to care. In a world where tools and automation can generate endless visual options, taste becomes what truly sets great work apart. Not just how packaging looks, but how it feels, what it communicates, and the story it carries.

This year we will talk about intuition, sensitivity, and the subtle decisions that transform packaging from a container into an experience. Because taste is not an algorithm. It is built through curiosity, imagination, and the courage to make choices that feel right.
