Three versions are shaped as a lantern, a diamond and a balloon. The jar is made by polycarbonate injection molding and measures 60 by 60 by 100 millimeters.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The Sweety is a combination of a candy jar and a seal. For bride and groom, it can decorate your wedding venue and can be used as a gift for friends and their children. In the hands of children, he is a shareable toy, leaving a pattern on their hands every time a candy is taken out.
- Inspiration
- Wedding candy is the most important gift in a traditional Chinese wedding, which means sharing joy to more people. We are constantly thinking about how to keep and retain this emotion for a long time. We observed the children's preferences and then created three more interesting candy jars: lanterns, diamonds and balloons, so that each sugar appears with a seal related to the wedding pattern. Candy and seal, no child will reject this magical experience.
- Research
- Children are the most important users. They create happiness and pass it on. So we created a new way to open sugar bowls to make them more willing to share happiness with others. After that, we started with the appearance, so that they can meet the aesthetics of young people, and at the same time, they can fuse the elements of the East and the West together and become important decorations in the wedding.
- Challenge
- How to use the simplest structure to make candy and printing appear at the same time.
- Operation and Interaction
- When The Sweety is pushed down, the internal space will be pieced together, so that the original separate seals will form a complete figure. When released, the seals staggered again, forming a gap so that the candies could fall, followed by a double surprise. After eating the candies, you can also unscrew their lids and put different types of candies in them.The happiness will never disappear.
