About Circle Unfulfilled Massage Device

Circle Unfulfilled is a packaging design for eye and neck massage devices. The form is inspired by the portals and bridges of Suzhou gardens, where a full circle is never found. The shape protects the product while reducing empty space inside the pack. A recycled material called SupraPulp, made from bagasse, is used for the structure. Without extra processing, the pack degrades in 45 to 90 days and returns to the material loop. The soft outer graphics and the calm color scheme suggest the gentle pressure of a massage.
