About Graceful Ode Drankferpakking

Graceful Ode is in searje drankferpakkingen ynspirearre troch Sineeske poëzij en kalligrafy. De trije tema's binne neamd nei feng, ya en song, trije klassifikaasjes fan 'e Sineeske poëzij. Elke flesse draacht syn Sineesk karakter yn trijediminsjonale foarm, kombinearre mei horizontale tekstueren dy't tinken dogge oan kalligrafy op rispapier en taktile djipte tafoegje. De dop hat de foarm fan glêzige heuvels, mei kartels oan 'e boppekant. Kleur bepaalt de toan fan elk tema: gradiïnt turkoois grien, waarm bêzje en donkergiel. De searje past by famyljegearkomsten, saaklike bankettten en formele fieringen.
