Design Details

Unique Properties
Unlike the standard flat iron boxes, we elevated the top of the metal outer casing by 1 cm, which may result in an additional production and transportation cost. Despite the challenges posed by this modification, it is this yearning to "break through the plane and reach for the stars" that fuels humanity's boundless pursuit of the universe.
Inspiration
One mathematician proposed that the triangle is the most enigmatic and spiritual shape in the cosmos. Humans may attempt to contact extraterrestrial life by utilizing the communicative properties of this figure. The technologically advanced, space-grade silver iron box in the shape of a triangle encapsulates humanity's aspirations to connect with other forms of life in the universe. This jointly developed mooncake for the Planetarium provided inspiration.
Research
By utilizing data analysis, the population on TikTok and Tianmao was segmented, and user profiles were established with a focus on meeting user experience requirements.
Challenge
Revitalizing traditional brands, rejuvenating traditional products and making them more youthful and trendy.
Realization and Technology
Traditional lining materials often use plastic materials such as EPE foam. Considering sustainability, our design adopts a cardboard structure that is fixed with interlocking tabs and requires no glue.
Specifications
Length x width x height: 361*312*75mm
Keywords
Well-established brand innovation, trendy and cool, sustainable concept, astronomy and space-themed, ceremonial experience.
