Production Technology: The bottle cap is made of resin, the bottle body is made of glass, and the outer packaging is a touch-sensitive paper box. Considering the transportation process, we use honeycomb paper as the outermost layer for packaging, which can buffer transportation collisions. At the same time, these materials are very environmentally friendly and can be naturally recycled and degraded.
Design Challenge: The brand concept is to coexist harmoniously with nature. How to convey the connotation of oriental culture is the challenge and goal of the design. We draw inspiration from the philosophy of Round Sky and Square Earth unique to Eastern culture. The "circle" that represents sensibility is combined with the "square" that represents rationality. We consider reducing the use of plastics in the selection and use of materials, which helps reduce resource waste.and environmental pollution
Research: We have walked through the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang, Namtso Lake in Tibet, and the Gaoligong Primeval Forest in Yunnan. Every arrival is a journey of fragrance discovery.
By integrating Eastern philosophy and modern aesthetics, and with its unique and profound design language, it presents consumers with a wonderful fusion of senses and rationality. This not only gives qili perfume a unique appearance, but also demonstrates the brand’s infinite expression of fragrance in form.
Inspiration: The design inspiration comes from the Round Sky and Square Earth of oriental culturePhilosophy, it is the oldest philosophical thought in China. It comes from Zengzi's Da Dai Li Ji Zeng Zi Tian Yuan and represents the way of yin and yang. The combination of the two is the balance of yin and yang, hardness and softness, expressing the concept of harmonious symbiosis with nature. The specific geographical names, longitudes and latitudes on the box are our journey of natural discovery.
