About Niulanshan Primarna funkcija: Embalaža za steklenico žgane pijače

Niulanshan je posebna izdaja embalaže za kitajsko blagovno znamko žgane pijače, izdana ob letu vola. Steklenica je izdelana iz stekla, škatla pa iz lesa. Oblikovanje se izogiba realizmu in uporablja moderno ter abstraktno obliko. Ostra, kot z rezilom začrtana ravna črta na telesu steklenice ponazarja trdno telo in nepopustljiv značaj vola. Znak blagovne znamke ohranja le kaligrafski znak Niu, ki pomeni vol. Zadnja poteza je podaljšana, da nakazuje kitajsko frazo "Niu do konca", željo po doseganju ciljev. Namen je pritegniti mlade potrošnike.

Design Challenge
In mid 2020, Niulanshan has begun planning the launch of Year of the Ox limited edition, not only the Ox Year carries weight to the brand, but also with NIU meaning "Ox", the brand is originated from a golden bull that brings welfare in ancient stories. Niulanshan hopes to ditch realism used in past Zodiac limited editions, aiming to attract young consumers with a contemporary abstract design.
Research
Using 12 as a cycle, each lunar year is represented by an animal, and 2021 is the year of the ox. The 12 zodiac signs and the 24 solar terms constituted an important tool for ancient Chinese to calculate time, predict the weather, and harvest mulberry. Chinese has much love and imagination for the zodiac, and Chinese liquor brands launch limited editions targeting different zodiacs yearly.
Inspiration
We focused on escaping from old-fashioned realism, using a more modern abstract design. The blade-sliced straight line of the bottle body conveys the tough carcass and the uncompromising character of an Ox.
