The Design

About Sky Blue Envase para Bebida Alcohólica

Sky Blue es un diseño de envase para un licor chino. La botella presenta una forma suave y aerodinámica basada en la espiral de Fibonacci, que aporta proporciones equilibradas y facilita sujetarla y abrirla. El tapón tiene forma de ojo, empleado como símbolo del producto. Un proceso de vitrificado respetuoso con el medio ambiente confiere al vidrio una superficie delicada y lisa, y reduce el daño al entorno. El color azul evoca la aurora. La caja utiliza una estructura cinco en uno que refuerza la protección contra la falsificación.
