Design Challenge: The creative challenge of Anah jewelry boxes is finding the perfect balance between quality and cost. As their MSRP ranges from around $20 to $60, to achieve this goal, the dimensions of each box are meticulously calculated to ensure they have the maximum capacity without increasing shipping or storage costs too much. The stitching technique is also selected through trial and error to ensure the lines are indistinct yet noticeable, creating a soft fluting surface to the sight and touch.

The Anah series was created by combining and matching all these design elements.
Inspiration: The appearance is inspired by both classical architecture and jewelry design, featuring fluted leather stitch and Clous de Paris metal parts. The series is designed to resemble architecture, which also shifts its look under different lighting conditions for the jewelry placed inside.
For the function, the research of user behavior was conducted in the process of deisgn, therefore each product from the series provides unique features aim to enhance user experience compared to other product
