About The Rice of Friendship Venskabets Ris

Venskabets Ris er en gaveemballagedesign til Wuchang-ris fra Heilongjiang, Kina. Den ydre æske indeholder 3 kilo ris fordelt i seks mindre æsker på 500 gram hver, så uåbnede æsker forbliver lette at opbevare. Skjulte magneter placeret i gennemgående huller i æsken og låget danner en lås, som forhindrer utilsigtet åbning og ridser under transport. Den trykte illustration viser to figurer adskilt af bjerge og floder, der hilser hinanden med traditionelle kinesiske gestus. Den grafiske stil minder om klassisk kinesisk landskabsmaleri og udtrykker venskab.
