About Kweichow Moutai Osaka Expo Edition Embalaža za žgane pijače

Kweichow Moutai Osaka Expo Edition je oblikovanje embalaže za spominsko žgano pijačo, ustvarjeno za svetovno razstavo Expo 2025 v Osaki. Oblika se zgleduje po zunanjosti kitajskega paviljona in spominja na tradicionalne kitajske bambusove knjižne lističe. Keramična steklenica stoji znotraj kovinske pokrajine, škatla pa je izdelana iz ekološke bambusove plošče, kovine in umetnega usnja. Kovinska časovnica na vrhu škatle označuje dolgoletno povezavo med blagovno znamko in svetovno razstavo. Kovinski ročaj v obliki vinskega vrča drsi vzdolž časovnice in z vrtenjem odpre škatlo.
