- Production Technology
- The products are packaged in PET, which means that the bottle contains a plastic material called polyethylene terephthalate, or PET for short. PET is a polymer produced by the combination of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. PET plastic has the characteristics of light weight, high transparency, and impact resistancewhich helps to prevent the escape of carbon dioxide. PET bottles have low environmental pollution and energy consumption, so it gradually replaces traditional packaging materials with the rising awareness of environmental protection.
- Design Challenge
- We have noticed that it is important to make products be clear at a glance when placing them on the miscellaneous shelves. To solve that, we have adopted stimulating colors to draw intentions of consumers. We have also acknowledged the guiding functions of the general consumers colour recognition. We picked the quietly elegant colours such as large areas of black and white, given consumers a simple but fashion impression.
- Project Duration
- The project started in May 2018.
- Operation Flow
- IIn terms of bottle design, the overall outline gives people a smooth feeling, just like the smooth body curve of dolphins. The thinnest part is just in the part of the consumer's hand, which increases the stability and comfort of the grip in function. The shoulder of the bottle adopts a concave triangular pattern, which is arranged in a circle. Open and directional arrows are printed on the bottle cap, so that consumers can easily open it, and the interactive experience is improved.
- Research
- We are insisting on operating the product research, development and design from the perspectives of consumers. Satisfy more consumers needs throughout our huge base of marketing research.
- Inspiration
- The design concept mainly comes from Apple's simple product design and Dieter Rams' design concept that less is more. The package using a large area of white, which is intended to reflect the simple and modern design sense; At the same time, influenced by the ancient Chinese calligraphy works, the large black word "pneuma" is adopted, which makes the whole product feel more oriental.
