About Hong Lou Meng Dream Ten Alcoholverpakking
Hong Lou Meng Dream Ten is een luxe verpakkingsontwerp voor baijiu, een traditionele Chinese sterke drank. De silhouet van de fles volgt de daklijn van de Grand View Garden, een decor uit de klassieke roman De droom van de rode kamer. Bananenbladmotieven zijn in lagen rond de fles gerangschikt, wat doet denken aan geplooide rokken. De fles is gemaakt van fijn keramiek en afgewerkt met cloisonné-emailwerk, een traditioneel Chinees ambacht. Contrasterende kleuren zorgen voor een visueel heldere vorm. De vorm ondersteunt eenvoudig hanteren en openen, en duidelijke etikettering presenteert de productinformatie.

- Production Technology
- In terms of colour, traditional high end contrast combinations make the bottle visually more striking. Combining premium ceramic material with cloisonne enamel craftsmanship results in an exceptionally refined package. The ceramic is fine textured and vividly coloured, whereas the cloisonne technique exemplifies the exquisite skills of traditional Chinese handicrafts, lending a sense of nobility and luxury to the bottle.
- Design Challenge

Through meticulously exploring the cultural implications and artistic styles of the novel, classic elements like Grand View Garden architecture and plantain leaf patterns were reinterpreted using modern design methods, achieving a harmonious blend of old and new, expressing the unique character and noble quality of the brand.

- The design embodies classical aesthetics from Dream of the Red Chamber. The bottle silhouette mirrors the roofline of the Grand View Garden, featuring rhythmic lines that resemble an artwork. The plantain leaf patterns are artistically arranged on the bottle, resembling layered skirts, adding grace and vitality. Utilizing cloisonne enamel craftsmanship further showcases Eastern charm exquisitely.
- Project Duration
- Initiated in Chengdu in March 2024 and launched in China in September of the same year.
