RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In the design process, the research on user behavior revealed that many jewelry owners prefer storage solutions with a chic design that reflects the current trend and incorporates the timeless spirit of jewels. Inspired by this result, the design team has collected a series of design elements and craft techniques from architecture, jewelry, and watch design. The Anah series was created by combining and matching all these design elements.
CHALLENGE: The creative challenge of Anah jewelry boxes is finding the perfect balance between quality and cost. As their MSRP ranges from around $20 to $60, to achieve this goal, the dimensions of each box are meticulously calculated to ensure they have the maximum capacity without increasing shipping or storage costs too much. The stitching technique is also selected through trial and error to ensure the lines are indistinct yet noticeable, creating a soft fluting surface to the sight and touch.
