The Design

About Graceful Ode Emballage de spiritueux

Graceful Ode est une série d'emballages de spiritueux inspirée de la poésie et de la calligraphie chinoises. Les trois thèmes portent les noms de feng, ya et song, les trois catégories de la poésie chinoise. Chaque bouteille arbore son idéogramme chinois en relief, associé à des textures horizontales qui évoquent la calligraphie sur papier de riz et apportent une profondeur tactile. Le bouchon épouse la forme de collines vallonnées, avec des crénelures sur le dessus. La couleur définit l'atmosphère de chaque thème : dégradé de vert turquoise, beige chaud et jaune foncé. La série se prête aux réunions de famille, aux banquets d'affaires et aux célébrations officielles.

Production Technology: The bottle cap inspired by rolling hills boasts serrations on the top, which symbolize the beautiful rhythm of poetry and echo the passion of ancient literati for climbing high and composing poems, expressing respect for and thinking on traditional culture. The themed bottle body takes the corresponding Chinese character as the core. 3D characters paired with horizontal textures, reminiscent of Chinese calligraphy on rice paper, offer a unique tactile experience and a sense of visual depth.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to capture Chinese traditional cultural essence while catering to modern aesthetic preferences.

Such fusion of traditional elements and modern craftsmanship makes the packaging series a piece of art that embodies traditional culture and showcases distinctive visual appeal.
Research: Through in-depth study of six principles in the Shijing and Chinese calligraphy, the packaging series innovatively integrates three typical classifications of Chinese poetry and ancient calligraphy with modern aesthetic trends and craftsmanship, striking a balance between cultural significance and artistic allure. It not only expresses respect for Chinese traditional poetry and calligraphy, but also brings something new to modern drinking culture.

In this way, it is not merely a container of fine liquor, but a piece of art with the unique charm of Chinese traditional culture.
Project Duration: The product was designed in January, 2024 in Chengdu, and launched in August, 2024 in China.
Operation Flow: The packaging series uses various colors to highlight a unique tone of different themed packaging, adaptable to diverse scenarios.
