About Graceful Ode Kemasan Minuman Beralkohol

Graceful Ode adalah seri kemasan minuman beralkohol yang terinspirasi oleh puisi dan kaligrafi Tiongkok. Ketiga temanya dinamai feng, ya, dan song, tiga klasifikasi puisi Tiongkok. Setiap botol menampilkan karakter Tiongkok-nya dalam bentuk tiga dimensi, dipadukan dengan tekstur horizontal yang mengingatkan pada kaligrafi di atas kertas beras dan menambah kedalaman taktil. Tutupnya dibentuk menyerupai perbukitan yang berombak, dengan gerigi di bagian atasnya. Warna menentukan nuansa setiap tema: gradasi hijau turkis, krem hangat, dan kuning tua. Seri ini cocok untuk pertemuan keluarga, jamuan bisnis, dan perayaan formal.

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.

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

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
