The Design

About Wu Gift Packaging

Wu is a gift packaging series designed for high-end tea vessels made of silver, brass and enamel. The boxes are produced in three sizes and combine dark green paper with pearl-finished accents in autumn colors, creating a calm and stable tone. Each box carries a tassel strung with a brass coin engraved on both sides with the phrases Wei Wu Zhi Zu and Long Happiness. Wei Wu Zhi Zu means that contented people are always happy. The box is opened by sliding the outer shell, which reveals the vessel and a printed card.

Research
Starting from "Wu", control the color, box shape, opening method, details, accessories and other aspects to create a valuable and high-end traditional etiquette culture. Study the ancient common decoration, tassel. It was popular in women's headdresses in ancient times, but it also exists in men's officialdom. For example, the ancient emperor wore a tassel made of pearls or other silk threads on the head. The most common tassel is also used to hang curtains in the corners of the curtain or the handle of the jade pendant, conveying the quaint and graceful charm. At that time, brass coins were just a kind of "decorating money" or "carrying money". "decorating money" began to appear in the Western Han Dynasty. Spending money over the ages is an image record of ancient folk culture, folk life forms and ideals of the times. It has important documentary value and collection value.
Inspiration
"Wei Wu Zhi Zu" word first appeared on the ancient coins of Han Dynasty, which reflected the simple aspiration, consign and pursuit of ancient Chinese people, clever, interesting and profound.

The project started in November 2018 in Fuzhou, China and finished in December 2018 in Fuzhou, China and officially launched in January 2019.
