About Wuliang Image 酒類パッケージ

「五粮image（五粮意象）」は、中国白酒ブランドのために制作された酒類パッケージデザインである。ボトル形状は明代の抱月瓶（ムーンフラスク）に着想を得ており、丸みのある本体は満月と団欒（再会）の意を象徴している。曲線と水波紋のストライプが絹のようにボトルを包み込む。ガラス本体にはサンドブラスト加工を施し、ローズゴールドのエンボスロゴをあしらい、ボトルトップにはマットな金属電気めっき加工を採用した。化粧箱はフロスト仕上げのゴールドアクリル製で、金属レリーフとホットスタンプ加工を組み合わせている。半透明の地の質感が、安定感のある心地よい握り心地を実現している。
