Fenvee Essence is a fragrance packaging design inspired by the lattice patterns of traditional Chinese windows. The package measures 55 mm in width, 55 mm in depth and 170 mm in height. Textured paper is used, and the minimalist structure limits the amount of ink and glue required. Printing and embossing highlight the fine details and create a play of light and shadow that shifts as the package is moved. A smooth opening mechanism supports the tactile experience. The design links cultural heritage with sustainable materials.
