Traditional Chinese Medicine Teabag

Thursday, 26 October 2023

Fold

Tests have shown that the effective ingredients concentration of ordinary hanging teabag liquid is only 40 percent of that when directly brewing medicine. This is because ordinary teabags wrap medicine inside, making it difficult for water to flow smoothly from the inside out. This design aims to increase the effective drug concentration and reduce medicine waste. We also hope to use origami technique to save more volume in the product to implement sustainable design concepts. When water is poured into it, it will unfold layer by layer from a flat folded shape, forming a barrel structure.

The Maple 7

The Maple 7 brings together a design merger between the usual take on luxury and experiential elevation, joining and completing this unique experience with Canadian rye and maple, elements subtly translated into the bottle design, creating a bold, striking presence enhanced and completed by minimal details that elevate both bottle and packaging into a disruptive shaping that demarcates itself from the rest of the competition, and using the ribbed base as a disguised highly reflective section, capable of creating a deep optical illusion that elevates the whisky and all of its natural colours.

Le Chateau XO

Le Chateau XO brings together elegance, luxury, and an elevation of the cognac throughout bold, striking details that bring the user’s attention and highlights the liquid and the vessel itself at the same time. Contrasting a sharp, strong vessel with a gold neck, knurl and trim, and creating a warm interaction throughout the light cream suede and the rich dark wood grain on the outside of the packaging, Le Chateau XO has been designed and envisioned to elevate the cognac experience to a completely new level of attention, enhancing the sensorial immersion along the whole tasting experience.

Vintage Japanese Sake Packaging

Sunday, 22 October 2023

Vintagience

This design is a branding project for vintage sake. The designers focused on the sake brewer's scientific approach to making aged sake and designed the brand based on the concept of Vintage × Science. The shining gradation on the label, created by special printing techniques, expresses the blend of long years, scientific aging methods, and the brewer's passion. The clock's hands symbolize the continuous passage of time during the aging process. The design aims to create new possibilities for sake while incorporating Japanese aesthetics in the product name and symbol.

Bottled Japanese Tea

Saturday, 21 October 2023

Tamausagi

Tamausagi is a bottled tea brewed with Uji Gyokuro, the highest grade of Japanese tea. We designed the brand to enhance and capitalize on the value of Japanese tea, which has been offered for free. The bottle has a simple form inspired by Japan's aesthetic of simplicity, known as wabi-sabi. The symbol is derived from the legendary rabbit that guided the guardian god of Uji. The bottle design depicts a moonlit night with thin clouds, representing the Gyokuro tea's cultivation method of blocking out the sun's rays. This is a new Japanese tea design to be offered during special moments.
