DESIGN NAME: Kinpachimikan
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Orange gift box
INSPIRATION: These oranges are rich in taste and peels are so thin that even babies can eat. Their nature being delicate and difficult to grow, the production amount is very few.
Among these oranges, Kinpachimikan is the astonishingly sweet and the finest graded orange that can be only found in the odds of one out of one hundred oranges. Due to its scarcity, you can’t get anywhere else but Kadoya real store.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: By addressing an overall concept one out of one hundred oranges, I have designed the package mainly with a simple orange icon. The carton box shows the fraction of 1/100 and depicts an image of the grove standing in the mountain slope. The inside box represents the one-and-only shiny orange.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: In Japan, there is a gift-giving custom at the end of the year when you give presents as a way of showing gratitude. Especially oranges being such a perfect gift for winter, I have designed the package that will please both givers and recipients with a premium and an eye-catching layout.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in 2009 in the city of Arida in the Wakayama prefecture in Japan.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Packaging Design
