- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to merge two UNESCO heritage applications, Jingdezhen porcelain and Lidu brewing, into one cohesive design. Research focused on Yuan Dynasty blue and white motifs, underglaze techniques, and movable type printing to authentically integrate cultural elements. Balancing artistic detail with usability required engineering precision, especially for the engraved alloy cap and rotating case. The goal was to create packaging that feels both luxurious and functional, serving as a cultural bridge between tradition and modernity.
- Research
- Online research, documentary materials, collection studies, cultural documentaries, and cultural interviews
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the dual UNESCO heritage applications of Jingdezhen porcelain and Lidu brewing craft, the design celebrates the union of two timeless traditions. The bottle features Yuan Dynasty blue and white dragon motifs, symbolizing strength and prosperity, with underglaze porcelain aesthetics. The cap references movable type printing, turning cultural memory into design detail. The silk textured case with twin dragons conveys protection, prestige, and ritual.
- Project Duration
- The project was initiated and completed in Nanchang in January 2024.
- Operation Flow
- The packaging is designed to create a ceremonial experience. The rigid case with a rotating opening reveals the bottle like a showcase, enhancing display value. The ceramic body, decorated with blue and white dragon motifs, offers a tactile connection to heritage. The metal cap, engraved with movable type characters, provides both grip and storytelling detail. From opening the case, unveiling the bottle, to pouring the liquor, each step is infused with cultural symbolism, turning consumption into ritual.
