About Waima Year of The Horse ビールパッケージ
「Waima 午年」は、中国の旧正月・午年を記念して制作された限定版ビールパッケージです。ガラスボトルは一般的な円筒形のビール瓶の形状から脱却し、中央部が丸みを帯び、首元と底部に向かってすぼまっていく優雅なフォルムを描いています。翼を広げた飛馬が天へと駆け上がる姿が描かれ、流れるような赤いリボンがそれらをつなぎ、新しい年への祝福の願いを表現しています。曲面全体を覆う360度の焼き付けエナメル仕上げにより、モチーフには層状の立体的な質感と豊かな光沢が与えられています。

- Unique Properties
- The packaging is tailored for the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Horse. It captures the moment of the flying horse spreading the wings and ascending into the sky, conveying a wish that every endeavor finds its direction. Flowing red ribbons gracefully connect flying horses, which creates a coherent visual narrative and symbolically ties together heartfelt blessings, presented as a treasured gift. An innovative 360 degree baked enamel finish showcases premium quality and high artistic value.

- Production Technology
- Both the flying horse and ribbon motifs are rendered using a 360 degree baked enamel finish, ensuring excellent adhesion and a rich luster. This creates a contrast with the transparent glass bottle, achieving visual tension between lightness and weight. The horse is meticulously crafted to form a 3D texture with distinct layers and lifelike details. This transforms the entire bottle into a work of art, further elevating the collectible value and ceremonial significance of the product.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was achieving a 360 degree baked enamel finish. Unlike conventional labels or partial prints, the finish has to snugly fit the curved bottle surface. However, due to the varying curvature of the bottle, the baking process is highly prone to discontinuities and uneven thickness. The team has conducted repeated trials and optimized key parameters like temperature, coating thickness, and curing time, finally delivering precise detailing, consistent coloration, and smooth transitions.
- Research
- As the 2026 Year of the Horse approaches, the brand, inspired by the cultural symbolism of the horse in Chinese tradition, launches the limited edition packaging. Centering on the flying horse leaping with wings spreading, the design embodies upward momentum and clear direction. Red ribbons weave through the composition like drifting clouds and flowing water, binding disparate elements into a seamless whole. Together, they paint a hopeful and harmonious vision for the dawn of the new year.
- Inspiration
- 2026 marks the Chinese Year of the Horse, an animal that in traditional Chinese culture symbolizes self improvement and the courage to forge ahead. Inspired by that, the packaging centers on the flying horse spreading the wings and ascending into the sky. By capturing the moment of its leap, the packaging embodies the promise of a new beginning and the unfolding of momentum. Flowing ribbons represent heartfelt blessings and set a warm yet determined tone for the direction of the coming year.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Beijing in October 2025. The product will be launched in China in October 2026.
- Operation Flow
- Breaking away from the conventional cylindrical form of beer bottles, the packaging resembles an elegant wine bottle. It features a full, rounded middle section that tapers naturally toward the neck and base, enhancing the overall artistic aura through fluid curves.
The composition emphasizes purposeful ascent and ordered dynamism: each horse is captured in a pose of spreading wings and leaping upward, interwoven with red ribbons to create a coherent, dynamic visual narrative. - Team Members
