Nai Yes

The Nai packaging redefines resilience and transformation by repurposing discarded marble into unique cases for premium olive oil. Inspired by Michelangelo's transformation of rejected marble into the iconic David, each package serves as a symbol of reinvention. The bold Νai, Yes in Greek, challenges the No, the negative forces of rejection, embodying the potential for second chances. This design not only protects its contents but also carries a social message of hope and individuality, demonstrating that what is often discarded can become an extraordinary inspiration for optimism.

Finenutri

Finenutri is a packaging design for a nutritional supplement brand created for women over 25 years old. The bottle is made of PETG material and measures 105 by 55 by 55 millimetres, a size that can be held in one hand. A dual layer structure combines a frosted outer shell with a food grade inner container. Sandblasting gives the outer shell a fine matte texture and a soft translucency. The translucent shell shows the remaining capsules, so the bottle is opened less often. The structure blocks light and helps protect the active ingredients.

Graceful Ode

Graceful Ode is a liquor packaging series inspired by Chinese poetry and calligraphy. The three themes are named after feng, ya and song, three classifications of Chinese poetry. Each bottle carries its Chinese character in three-dimensional form, paired with horizontal textures that recall calligraphy on rice paper and add tactile depth. The cap is shaped after rolling hills, with serrations on the top. Color sets the tone of each theme: gradient turquoise green, warm beige and dark yellow. The series suits family gatherings, business banquets and formal celebrations.

Langjiu Estate San Pin Festival

Langjiu Estate San Pin Festival is a packaging design for baijiu, a Chinese distilled spirit. The set holds two conceptual products, based on the themes of the day of the estate and the night of the estate. The outer box also works as a three-dimensional paper carving lamp, and illustrations of the estate scenery surround the lamp. When lit, the lamp recalls the night light show held at the estate. The packaging presents a miniature panoramic view of the estate, and it offers a commemorative object rather than a focus on the drink alone.
