PRIMARY FUNCTION: Herbal Set Package
INSPIRATION: Inspired by the renewal of spring, the resilience of bamboo, and the balance found in traditional tea culture, this design translates natural elements into a contemporary visual language.

The minimalist aesthetic and the brand signature greater than symbol express growth, harmony, and mindful living.

Rooted in the philosophy of food as medicine, it offers a convenient yet culturally rich experience. The minimalist packaging features dynamic light and shadow patterns that evoke a sense of nature and calm. All materials are plastic free and FSC certified. A bamboo-joint ceramic cup, symbolizing seasonal renewal, adds a poetic touch to everyday wellness rituals.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The outer box opens like a gift, revealing individually sealed herbal packs arranged in orderly rows, inviting a sense of calm and ritual. As light hits the textured surface, shifting shadows mimic leaves in motion, creating a dynamic visual experience. The greater than symbol on the box guides the eye forward, subtly suggesting progress and wellbeing. Each element encourages users to slow down, reconnect with nature, and embrace wellness with intention.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research began with interviews and surveys targeting young urban professionals, revealing common issues such as fatigue, insomnia, and anxiety. These insights informed the formulation of herbal blends using principles from traditional Chinese medicine, guided by the philosophy of food as medicine. The design integrates elements like bamboo, garden shadow play, and seasonal symbolism to reflect cultural roots while addressing modern wellness needs.
CHALLENGE: The challenge was to merge aesthetics with the brand wellness philosophy, making the packaging both visually appealing and meaningful. A minimalist approach integrates natural elements such as tree shadows and bamboo motifs to create an open and balanced feel. A soft color palette and light interactions enhance the design, capturing Eastern aesthetics and the essence of renewal.
