The Design

About Fenvee Essence Embalagem de Fragrância

Fenvee Essence é um design de embalagem de fragrância inspirado nos padrões treliçados das janelas tradicionais chinesas. A embalagem mede 55 mm de largura, 55 mm de profundidade e 170 mm de altura. Utiliza-se papel texturizado, e a estrutura minimalista reduz a quantidade de tinta e cola necessária. A impressão e o relevo realçam os detalhes finos e criam um jogo de luz e sombra que se altera à medida que a embalagem é movimentada. Um mecanismo de abertura suave valoriza a experiência tátil. O design une o património cultural a materiais sustentáveis.
