The Design

About Yongxi Portaincensos de Dobre Función

Este traballo foi deseñado polo Sr. En Ke baseándose na antiga cultura real chinesa. A embalaxe foi redeseñada cos elementos do padrón de nubes da Cidade Prohibida, e a obra de arte no seu conxunto asemella un marfil, reflectindo plenamente a beleza do Oriente. Ao abrir a tapa superior, atópase un incensario de phoebe dourada envolvido en papel ecolóxico. Este deseño rompe co tradicional ao integrar dúas funcións de combustión e almacenamento nun único produto, polo que foi patentado en China. Obtivo premios internacionais de deseño ao tempo que recibiu unha excelente acollida no mercado.

Design Challenge
Difficulty 1: In Eastern culture, the storage and burning of incense are two independent tools. Modern life advocates practical minimalism. How to break the tradition and combine two tools into one?
