About Year Of The Snake Roud Ëmschléi fir d'Joer vun der Schlaang

Andeems se déi wuertwiertlech Haut vun der Déierekrees-Ikonographie ofstreeft, ass dës Serie vu roude Ëmschléi fir d'Joer vun der Schlaang eng Neiinterpretatioun vun der Traditioun vum Chineseschen Neijoer. Iwwer 16 Ëmschléi an 4 visuell Themen ewech gëtt d'Essenz vun der Schlaang vermëttelt: flësseg Anmut, verflicht mat bestännege Blummenmotiven. Inspiréiert vum Ouroboros-Symbol, verweisen d'Designen op subtil Manéier op Zyklen vu Widderhuelung an Erneierung. Déi dezent Unerkennung vum Joer vun der Schlaang erméiglecht et, d'Ëmschléi och iwwer d'Neijoer eraus ze benotzen. D'Erzielungen, déi an all Design agebett sinn, bréngen der Kollektioun eng zousätzlech Déift an eng faszinéierend Note.

Production Technology: To embody our commitment to sustainability, each red packet is made in FSC-certified paper and the holder is crafted from recyclable materials. To bring the serpent details alive, matte UV finishes are incorporated alongside red, silver, and gold foil accents in specific areas. The design highlights the distinctive tongue, teeth, eyes and tail of the serpent. This thoughtful approach creates a subtle yet immersive atmosphere for the Year of the Snake.
Design Challenge: To differentiate from typical red packets and to achieve a harmonious balance between the snake and floral motifs, meticulous details are incorporated throughout the set, each conveying diverse blessings for the year ahead. Flickering snake tongues are hidden in the orchid as a symbol of guidance; sharp teeth concealed within the lilies foster growth; blinking snake eyes integrated into the lotus embody rebirth; snake tails disguised as anthurium pistils, bestow power & fertility upon the year.
Research: Protected by a hardbound, slide-out package, the red packet set’s packaging takes inspiration from a snake shedding its skin. The "M-fold" structure of the red packet holder artfully mimics the sinuous movement of a snake, symbolically carrying blessings through the changing seasons. The red packets are crafted from four different textured pearlescent papers, harmonising beautifully with the shimmering scales of a snake.
Inspiration: Drawing inspiration from the ouroboros, a timeless symbol depicting a serpent devouring its own tail, which signifies cycles of repetition, renewal, and the infinite passage of time, we pay homage to the essence of renewal and celebrate the arrival of the Year of Snake. The imagery of snake scales are concealed within the four different blossoms by season, connecting the intricate grace of the snake to the eternal cycle of blooming flowers.
Project Duration: The is designed in late 2024, produced and distributed in early 2025.
Operation Flow: This New Year's gift is designed for year-round use. Removing the slide-out package unveils a red packet holder. The holder employs an "M-fold” structure, allowing recipients to view all four unique designs at once when unfolded. Each section securely holds four red packets, and once emptied, reveals a description of the design, providing insight into the story behind the red packet's artwork.
