The forest supplies Menaud’s signature green
Wedge translated Menaud’s regional craft into a luxury identity and a family of custom bottles. The forested surroundings supplied the signature deep green, while architecture, Japanese glass and vintage cars informed the sculptural approach. Textured paper and a wooden cap complement the glass; the cap meets the bottle in a continuous line. A passage from the Canadian novel behind the brand’s name is hidden beneath the base. The project uses form, material and small discoveries to express the distillery’s connection to its surroundings, giving the package a presence beyond its immediate function.

Montreal-based studio Wedge launched ‘Collaboration 001,’ a self-initiated partnership with artisanal cidrerie Entre Pierre et Terre to create a duo of natural cidres. The project features hand-drawn, Marimekko-inspired illustrations and tactile packaging that reflect the organic, small-batch nature of the product. The limited-edition release sold out quickly, marking the start of future collaborative editions by the studio.
Montreal studio Wedge redesigned the packaging for Entre Pierre & Terre's exclusive range of artisan ciders from Picardie, France. Inspired by traditional French brasserie signage, the new labels combine handwritten, serif and sans serif type with a warm two-colour palette to convey product information while retaining a premium, handcrafted character. The redesigned range reportedly sold four times faster.
