About Stage Ring Box Proposal Ring Box

Stage Ring Box is a proposal ring box designed to extend the moment when the ring is revealed. Instead of opening in an instant, the box raises the ring slowly as the base is rotated, and a small baffle moves aside. The gradual movement recalls a performer rising from the middle of a stage and lengthens the sense of expectation. The body is made of resin with a painted outer surface and a simple shape that is easy to form with a mold. The aim is to strengthen the ceremonial feeling of a marriage proposal.

Design Details

Unique Properties
Stage ring box emphasizes the ceremonial feel of the ring as it enters the stage. In the past,the ring box was opened in an instant,while the stage ring box was raised slowly,just like the way the hero and heroine in a movie came out from the middle of the stage,which enhanced the ritual sense of the sacred moment. It lengthens the sense of expectation.With the ring's final appearance this subtle emotional change is pulled to a climax.
Inspiration
At present,the concept of ring box on the market is relatively old,and there is no update,but modern people are pursuing higher emotional needs while satisfying functions.We strengthen the sacred feeling of the moment of marriage by changing the way of opening the ring box.A sense of ritual.
Research
At present,the ring box concept on the market is relatively old,and there is no update,but modern people are pursuing higher emotional demands while satisfying functions.The traditional ring box is open and closed,and the ring is presented in an instant.The stage ring box we designed is to make the ring rise slowly by rotating the base,prolonging the time of this moment.In this way,the sacredness and ritual feeling of this moment can be better strengthened. This product changes the way the ring is presented,making the scene of "marriage proposal" richer and more emotional.
Challenge
We have some problems in terms of structure,but in the end we solved this problem with the help of others and can present the original concept smoothly.Considering the user's use environment,in order to make the "Proposed person" have more emotional experience,it took a little time to deal with the details of the opening,making it appear "as if something is about to appear",enhancing the expectation .
Realization and Technology
The ring box is made of resin,painted on the outside,simple in shape,and easy to mold using the mold.
Operation and Interaction
The ring is slowly raised by rotating the bottom part,and the baffle is slowly removed.It lengthens the sense of expectation.With the ring's final appearance this subtle emotional change is pulled to a climax.
Project Duration and Location
The project began in Guangzhou in April 2019,completed in Guangzhou in May 2019,and exhibited at Design China Beijing in September 2019.
