Taking Shandong's "One Mountain, One River, One Saint" as the cultural matrix, it investigates a progressive unboxing experience from visual to tactile, from form to spirit, achieving contemporary expression of tradition in gifting scenarios.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration is drawn from the profound cultural geography of Shandong Province, symbolized by "One Mountain , One River , and One Saint ." We sought to break away from intricate retro styling commonly found in liquor packaging. Instead, we used a minimalist and modern ritualistic approach to carry this heavy cultural heritage.
