• Tessas Eplegård cider packaging highlights honest farm storytelling

  · Apr 15, 2026

  Oslo-based studio OlssønBarbieri created the identity and packaging for Tessas Eplegård, a small-batch organic cider producer in Hardanger, Norway. The concept, "Friends of Tessa’s Orchard," reframes birds, insects, and fungi commonly regarded as threats to apple trees as ecological collaborators, using illustrated labels, poems, and direct-address storytelling. The packaging balances small-scale production constraints with custom die-cuts, shared blind-debossing elements, and environmentally considered materials.
