While a traditional wine pairing typically couples a specific food with its red-or-white match, Reverse Innovation believes that wine is best served with a good book. The Milan-based brand and product design agency has teamed up with Matteo Correggia, an award-winning winery in the rolling hills of Roero, Italy, to create Librottiglia, a range of wines with a literary twist.
Composed of three wines—two reds and a white—the Librottiglia line is distinguished by its catchy title (a clever combination of the Italian words for “book” and “bottle”) and its clever packaging. With a clean, minimalist design, a colorful graphic, and information about the grape variety, year, and region of its contents, each bottle’s label appears ordinary. Tug at the twine that is tied around it, however, and you’ll discover that the “label” is actually a tiny book! A perfect pairing for each half-bottle (375 milliliters or about two-and-a-half glasses), the novellas offer a convenient way to relax as you sip.
Reverse Innovation commissioned three authors to produce the literary accompaniments. Each piece has been perfectly paired with a Matteo Correggia wine that captures its tone and embodies its feel: singer and writer Patrizia Laquidara’s tale, La Rana Nella Pancia (A Frog in the Belly), “fits the uncommon personality of red Anthos, a dry Brachetto”; Ti Amo. Dimenticami (I Love You. Forget Me) by Regina Nadaes Marques is as “intense” as its red Nebbiolo companion, and Danilo Zanelli’s humorous L’omicidio (Murder) shares the “fresh and light spirit” of Arneis, a crisp white wine.
Wine-loving bibliophiles can find the bookish bottles on the Librottiglia website. They’re currently only available in Italian.

For this celebratory collection of J&B Rare scotch blend whiskey bottles. The brand decided to tattoo 25 limited edition bottles after covering them with a latex skin. Sébastien Mathieu, the owner of a private tattoo room in Paris, tattooed each bottle from a single design but intrinsically, though each is unique.

Prescription Mug from ThinkGeek, a coffee mug that looks like a prescription bottle. "This Prescription Mug makes it look like you’re drinking your drug of choice, which, of course, you are! All sorts of cute information on the bottle’s “label,” including dosage directions: Drink one mug by mouth; repeat until awake and alert."

The new memo pad from Appree resembles a block of wood, the same block of wood that was probably used to make them.
With the pattern printed on both sides, this thick, vellum paper gives the feeling of real wood. The paper pieces sit inside of a wood-shaped block and you can slide each sheet out one at a time.

Malmö/Copenhagen-based photographer Jens Lennartsson knew he had to do something spectacular to stand out as a travel and lifestyle photographer, so he opted to create 400 action figures of himself as self-promotional mailers.
Lennartsson's figurine, named GI Jens, is actualized as a camera-toting embodiment of who he is as a photographer. The packaging boosts his professional skills in an eye-catching display. No action figure is complete without a brochure displaying all of the toys features and Lennartsson doesn't miss that opportunity to display some of his work.
