THE MEDITERRANEAN, MIRÓ AND
THE CITY OF BARCELONA,
SOURCES OF INSPIRATION FOR
CHICKS ON SPEED THE MULTI-TALENTED ARTISTS CREATE THE LATEST SPECIAL
EDITION OF ESTRELLA DAMM

Bright, vibrant colours and bold combinations that remind us of the crazy days of the 1980s; this is the idea behind the latest special edition of Estrella Damm, designed by the band Chicks on Speed.
German Kiki Moorse, American Melissa Logan and Australian Alex Murray met in 1997 in a bar near the Munich Academy of Fine Arts and, over time, created a band with the aim of expressing their artistic concerns: Chicks on Speed.
Years later, the Barcelona-loving threesome has been tasked with designing the new limited edition bottle of Estrella Damm.

IN TROCHUT's ARTWORK
"MORE IS MORE” THE CREATIVE PHILOSOPHY OF ALEX TROCHUT

Detailed, elegant and meticulous, the work of the Barcelona-born Alex Trochut is characterised by its constant desire for evolution and understanding, which is embodied by his philosophy of “more is more”. It is a system of working that has led to collaborations with companies such as Nike, The Rolling Stones, Nixon, British Airways, The Guardian, Non-Format, Wieden+Kennedy, Saatchi and Saatchi, CON BBH, Fallon and, of course, Estrella Damm.

Renowned for his typography creations, Trochut attributes this typographical connection to his grandfather Joan Trochut – inventor of the modular system Super Tipo Veloz in 1942 – that he adapted to digital systems in collaboration with Andreu Balius.
