Design Challenge
As a cultural and creative speaker starting from Wuzhen and moving towards the global tourism industry, the biggest challenge is to explore the differences of similar products, and combine the characteristics of Wuzhen's urban culture to find a way to integrate the field of Eastern painting art. The expression from classical to modern. Secondly, combining Chinese ceramics, there is a high probability of manual production failure, with a lot of color uncertainty, which also leads to each product being unique.
Research

In order to achieve this goal, designers conducted on-site investigations and designed based on elements such as Jiangnan water towns and Wuzhen residential buildings, reinterpreting traditional Eastern elements through symbolic design techniques. A ceramic speaker with Wuzhen characteristics has been designed based on Chinese ceramic craftsmanship. Tourists can better understand the region through Jiaxing's classical music and images.
Inspiration

The culture, art, and products of Wuzhen can be integrated with each other. This product draws inspiration from Eastern classical architecture and integrates modern graphic art. Taking this ancient oriental Jiangnan city as a starting point, it will influence the global tourism city market.
Project Duration
The project starts in March 2023 in Hangzhou, China and will be completed in December 2023.
Operation Flow
