About Source of Subtle Waves Эчемлек Savıtı

Нәфис дулкыннар чыганагы — Кытай Байцзю эчемлеге өчен savıt дизайны. Тамчы формасындагы шешә ашлык һәм суның вакыт узу белән Байцзюга әйләнүен символлаштыра һәм озын пешерү (ачыту) процессына ишарә итә. Шешә Цзиндэчжэньдә пешерелгән керамикадан ясалган һәм алтын катламлы металл белән берләштерелгән, бу көчлелек белән нәзакәтлек арасында контраст тудыра. Югары температурада эшләнгән рельефлы декальләр өслеккә өч үлчәмле текстура бирә. Капкач борынгы галимнәрнең баш киемнәреннән рухланып ясалган. Шешәнең уртасы кинрәк, ике очы таррак булуы аны тотуны һәм эчемлекне агызуны җайлы итә.

Ceramics, the primary material, feature low energy and material consumption during firing, do not release harmful substances, and meet green production standards, achieving both practicality and environmental friendliness.
Design Challenge: The design challenge was to harmonize the contrasting elements of strength and gentleness, conveying both the power of the brewing process and the smoothness of the liquor. The bottle, abandoning the traditional rustic form, adopts a waterdrop shape with textures that symbolize time, evoking the softness of the liquor and the resilience of the brewing process. The interplay of ceramic and metal materials seamlessly blends strength and gentleness, embodying modern design elegance.
Research: The team integrates traditional elements with modern aesthetics. The bottle, featuring a waterdrop shape with intricate textures, symbolizes the brewing process and the passage of time.
