Dimensions & Packaging: Silk wrapped box with embroidery in the size of 38cm x 38cm x 9cm. The overall presentation conveys a sense of regal refinement and majestic imperial dignity.

Production Technology: The box features a distinctive opening mechanism: a gentle press on either side of the embroidered circle causes the lids to open inward like butterfly wings, adding elegance and surprise to the unboxing experience. Inside the lid, intricate dragon pattern silk embroidery enhances visual richness, while golden tea crystal bottles arranged in a semicircle against a black background create a luminous, striking contrast.
Design Challenge: Integrating imperial design elements and traditional silk embroidery techniques with contemporary international design concepts presents significant creative and technical challenges. The inclusion of Chinese calligraphy and seal design further functions as a synthesis of East and West, and of classical and contemporary aesthetics, adding additional layers of complexity, refinement, and innovation to the project.

The square box features a circular silk embroidery of double dragons, symbolizing the harmony of heaven and earth. Its twin lids open inward like butterfly wings, revealing shimmering tea crystals that evoke a sense of imperial elegance and refined nobility.
