The Design

About Imperial Gift Box Primärfunktioun: Verpackungsdesign

Buchtext: D'Design vun der Six Treasures Imperial Tea Geschenkbox huelt seng Inspiratioun aus dem chineseschen keeserlechen Draachegewand. Déi véiereckeg Box weist op enger Säit eng ronn Seidestickerei vun zwee Draachen an op der anerer Säit eng Pivoine, d'Nationalblumm vu China, wat d'Harmonie tëscht Himmel an Äerd symboliséiert. Hir Zwillingsdeckele ginn no banne wéi Päiperleksflilleke op, an entdecken glënnernd gëlle Téi-Kristallflaschen, déi keeserlech Nobelheet hervirruffen. Chinesesch Kalligraphie- a Seelelementer, déi am Logo an an der Verpackung integréiert sinn, ënnersträichen d'Transformatioun vun der klassescher Ästhetik an en zäitgenëssescht Design.
