Wine label design for the site of Nikola Tesla’s last remaining laboratory.
As I developed this label, I wanted to honor Nikola Tesla and symbolically include some of his profound studies into the design with both constructed and subtle layers. Configuring the spatial relationship between each element was generated by the desire to keep the design simple yet invoke complex discourse and energy between the viewer and the label. Tesla’s interest in the numbers 3,6,9 and his interest with the energy of the universe are at the forefront of this design. The most prominent inspiration comes from his quote, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” I wanted to harness this idea visually, leaving the viewer with an insight into the possibilities of our world.
Proceeds of this wine support the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe, the site of Tesla’s only remaining laboratory, located on the north shore of Long Island just 15 miles from the rolling green landscape of Paumanok Vineyards, producer of the wine—one of Long Island’s oldest vineyards.
Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe’s nonprofit mission is to develop Tesla’s last remaining laboratory into a transformative global science center that embraces his bold spirit of invention, provides innovative learning experiences, fosters the advancement of new technologies, and preserves his legacy in the Tesla Museum.
