Design Details

Unique Properties: the theme of its design is “sunrise”, which is a symbol of hope and beauty in China. An ancient Chinese sun totem is used on the top of the can, with four raised round faces symbolizing abundance throughout the year. The design of the outer box adopts the sunrise scene in the Mount Tai, which is viewed as the Oriental go. Thus,
Inspiration: it is a product with a beautiful implied meaning. In the Shandong province of China rises Mount Tai, which is also the highest of the five great mountains in China. When appreciating the sunrise on Mount Tai, the sun rises from the sea of clouds, the mountains and heaven and earth covered with romantic red color. Everything is revived and full of vitality, inspiring me to create the tea packaging design.
Realization and Technology: The main materials for packaging are ceramics and paper, and the outer box is composed of paper and metal. The tea pot is made of ceramic firing.
Project Duration and Location: This work was designed and produced in Shenzhen, China in July 2022, and was released in 3000 stores in the Chinese market in December of the same year. Incorporated selected exhibitions in Xiamen and Chengdu, China.
