- Production Technology
- It looks like an indivisible one while the crystal bottle matched with mirror-like metal cap, which featured in spiraling curves and asymmetric shape, full of a sense of future with infinite possibilities. It is also a product with the sense of hi-tech and art while the silver-plated packing box is designed in cylindrical shape with irregular curved surface which would produce undulating changes.
- Design Challenge
- The most difficult part is the facade of the packing. The senses of urban spirit, product positioning and the high-end gift are required to present in one product at the same time. The significant differences from the existing similar products are asked in bottle, packing box, material and process, as a result, it is a huge challenge and attempt in production.
- Project Duration
- The project began in Shanghai in September 2021 and the design will be completed in Shanghai in November 2021.
- Operation Flow
- Combination of the urban landmark building with product would naturally arouse the attention and emotional resonance of users, which could better integrate urban culture, sketch landscape, art exhibitions, commemorative activities and tourism visits to get wider dissemination and promotion. Both the outer box and the bottle could be displayed and presented as art and collection exhibits, reducing the discard and waste of materials.
