About Flavor Pinching-out 醬料瓶

《捏香識味》係一款透過氣味嚟辨識內容物嘅醬料瓶設計。瓶身以光澤陶瓷製成，瓶蓋則用帶有細小氣孔嘅矽膠製作。瓶身嘅造型會引導使用者喺拿起樽嘅時候，自然噉去捏壓柔軟嘅瓶蓋。輕輕一捏，醬料嘅香氣就會透過氣孔散發出嚟，令人毋須湊近瓶口嗅聞，都可以分辨出入面裝嘅係咩醬料。呢個樽嘅尺寸為9乘9乘12厘米，製作上採用簡單而現成嘅生產方法。

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.
