About Imperial Gift Box Función Primaria: Deseño de Envases
Texto do Libro: O deseño da Caixa de Agasallo de Té Imperial dos Seis Tesouros inspírase na túnica imperial chinesa do dragón. A caixa cadrada presenta nun lado un bordado circular de seda con dous dragóns e, no outro, unha peonía, a flor nacional de China, simbolizando a harmonía entre o ceo e a terra. As súas dúas tapas xemelgas ábrense cara a dentro como ás de bolboreta, revelando relucentes botellas douradas de cristal de té que evocan a nobreza imperial. A caligrafía chinesa e os elementos de selo incorporados ao logotipo e á embalaxe destacan a transformación da estética clásica nun deseño contemporáneo.
