Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This gift box packaging is specially designed for the Chinese New Year. Its outer packaging is mainly red, aiming to echo the festive and jolly air of New Year. The way it opens simulates the structure of a traditional Chinese double door. After unfolding, an illustration with a meaning of auspiciousness integrating the New Year elements of dancing lions, flying fairies and lanterns will come into sight.
- Inspiration
- It was inspired by dancing lions, a folk tradition of dancing art as well as a traditional custom of New Year in Canton, China, which means to expel evil influences and invoke blessings. The illustration of this packaging combines the modern artistic expression and multiple New Year elements, including lion dance and lanterns, which aims to interpret the integration of traditional culture and modern elements.
- Challenge
- According to legend, the lion dance originated from the Tang Dynasty, when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang saw lion dance in front of his palace in a dream, so he woke up and ordered his attendants to make up a dance to entertain the guests in imitation of the movements of the auspicious beasts. Over time, the lion dance became a Chinese folk tradition. At festivals, people expel the evils by gods or auspicious beasts to prey for peaceful and harmonious lives.
- Realization and Technology
- It uses eco-friendly paper and ink, conforming to the maxim of sustainability.
- Operation and Interaction
- The dancing lion-shaped magnetic sticker, in addition to decorating the gift box and using it for fixing the box, can be used as a refrigerator sticker after removal. When the user unfolds the gift box, a Chinese style illustration is displayed, signifying the joy of opening the door, which is a common auspicious phrase for Chinese New Year. The gift box includes red packets, couplets and a calendar inside, all with uniform illustration elements.
- Project Duration and Location
- Started in Shenzhen, China in October 2020, this project was finished in Shenzhen, China in October 2020 and was manufactured in Shenzhen, China in November 2020.
