DESIGN NAME: Hsu Fuchi
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Candy Packaging
INSPIRATION: The single-box design looks like a traditional blessing bag, symbolizing good wishes for the New Year, making it a cherished gift for the public. What's more intriguing is that when the two boxes are combined, they resemble a large piece of candy, directly reflecting the product's candy-like properties. This sparks conversation among consumers, creating a highly contagious topic that requires no explanation.
The illustration design centers around the six-step process of ancient sugar making, depicting the entire journey from harvesting sugarcane to packaging the final product, thus promoting traditional sugar culture. Whether it's the red color scheme or the Chinese dragon elements interspersed throughout, it sets the tone for the 2024 Chinese Year of the Dragon, evoking a festive New Year atmosphere.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The appearance of our box is designed with 24 convex edges, which correspond to the 24 solar terms of the year in China, implying a rich harvest of five grains in the New Year. At the same time, the lid, in turn, can also be used as a tray to hold candy or other food, resembling the shape of ancient Chinese art, thereby giving the packaging more functionality and practicality. On the lid of the box, we also incorporated a silk scarf to add a ceremonial and elegant touch to the use of the fruit bowl.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The box filled with candies resembles a blessing bag when singular, and a delightful assortment when combined. The fusion of aesthetic form and practical function enhances interactivity and interest. The lid's design draws inspiration from the Chinese Qing Dynasty porcelain lotus high-footed fruit plate, embodying the quintessence of Chinese aesthetics and values.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project began in Shenzhen in March 2023, was completed in Shenzhen in December 2023, and was available throughout China as well as in Member's Mark in December 2023.
