The Design

About Imperial Gift Box Förpackningsdesign

Designen av presentförpackningen Six Treasures Imperial Tea hämtar inspiration från den kinesiska kejserliga drakroben. Den fyrkantiga lådan har en cirkulär sidenbroderi med dubbla drakar på ena sidan och en pion, Kinas nationalblomma, på den andra, vilket symboliserar harmonin mellan himmel och jord. Dess dubbla lock öppnas inåt likt fjärilsvingar och avslöjar skimrande gyllene teflaskor i kristall som frammanar kejserlig adelskap. Kinesisk kalligrafi och sigillelement införlivade i logotypen och förpackningen framhäver omvandlingen av klassisk estetik till samtida design.
