DESIGN NAME: Misifu Yueyan Serum
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Packaging
INSPIRATION: The design is derived from the first of the four wondrous stones in China: Taihu Lake Stone (an important aesthetic symbol of traditional Chinese culture), which features wrinkled, leaky, thin, and transparent. Its unique irregular beauty fits with the concept of sculpting time and reshaping skin. In this way, the design team presents the unique beauty of time flow, which also echoes the efficacy in preventing aging, firming skin, and shaping young body lines.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a product packaging designed for premium anti-wrinkle essence. It draws inspiration from Taihu Lake stone, which features wrinkled, leaky, thin, and transparent, with the concept of time flow embedded in, showing the collision of high technology and traditional aesthetics of Jiangnan. By delicately carving the bottle, the design team shows the natural and unadorned beauty sculpted by time and conveys the product's efficacy in firming skin, preventing aging, and shaping young body lines.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The concept of product time carving is conveyed through the bottle. By shaping after the wrinkled, leaky, thin and transparent Taihu Lake stone, it gives the product a unique texture. When users observe the product from different angles, the bottle will show different visual effects due to the concave and convex texture and the refraction of metal. The irregular and hand friendly shape enhances the experience of user from vision to touch, building connections between multiple senses.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The product was established and developed in Jiangsu, China in October 2021 and listed in Jiangsu, China in September 2022.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Taihu Lake Stone is known as one of the top four wondrous stones in China, and is one of the important aesthetic symbols of traditional Chinese culture. This series of packaging incorporates the Taihu Lake Stone into the design of the bottle, which conveys the classical Chinese art of stone appreciation in a modern aesthetic and expression, allowing the users of world to experience the traditional Chinese culture, and also reviving and carrying forward the traditional Chinese culture.
CHALLENGE: The main challenge in developing the product was to put the features of irregular texture and shape of the Taihu Lake stone to the bottle. The irregular shape could easily make the bottle lose its center of gravity and appear less inviting. Starting from the commonality between the structure of the Taihu Lake stone and the bottle, and incorporating the positioning of brand from the aesthetics of Jiangnan skin, the design team achieves a delicate balance after thousands of attempts.
