About Flavor Pinching-out 酱料瓶

“捏香”是一款可通过气味辨识内容物的酱料瓶。瓶身采用光泽陶瓷制成，瓶盖则由带有细小气孔的硅胶制成。瓶身的造型引导人们在拿起瓶子时自然捏握柔软的瓶盖。轻捏瓶盖，酱料的香气便会从气孔中散出，无需凑近瓶口闻嗅即可识别内容物。瓶身尺寸为9 x 9 x 12厘米，采用简单的现有生产工艺制作。

Production Technology: Using existing processing technology, the processing procedure is simple and easy to produce.Bottle cap: Silicone Bottle body: Glossy ceramic
Design Challenge: With it people smell flavor from the cap instead of its bottle mouth, creating a completely new experience. The proportion of the two materials used in the product is the most difficult part of this design
Research: During discussions with teachers and classmates, I found that many products in the market today are redesigned by adding new symbol elements to the original product design. In such a design, the added symbols may be incompatible with the original product. So my classmates and I collected many designer works for research and discussion. After analysis, we think that design based on user behavior will be more touching. Then I studied many excellent design works on the market based on user behavior, and got some experience, so I tried to make the "Flavor pinching-out Sauce Bottle".
Inspiration: Flavor pinching-out Sauce Bottle is based on the function of the product, and is redesigned within the shape and structure of the sauce and vinegar bottle. On the basis of people's cognition of the use of ordinary sauce and vinegar bottles, they change the shape of their materials, break people's inherent recognition of sauce and vinegar bottles, and make people use the sauce and vinegar bottles more interesting
Project Duration: January-February 2020, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China
Operation Flow: Its soft cap has airholes and its body shape makes people unconsciously pinch the soft cap when picking up.After squeezing the soft cap, flavor will be emitted, by which people can identify what is inside the sauce bottle.
