The packaging design uses traditional Chinese calligraphy as the main design pattern, with elegant and simple colors, combining traditional Chinese aesthetics with ecological consciousness, highlighting the modern aesthetic of Chinese culture. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: "Meditation of the Lotus" is an eco-friendly diffuser that combines low-carbon innovation with traditional Chinese elements. It uses durable, unglazed porcelain to replicate soft Xuan paper's texture and introduces a unique fragrance delivery system with natural Jialing River pebbles. Its packaging employs recycled, eco-friendly Xuan paper with an oil-free ink debossing technique and a recycled corrugated paper tray, highlighting a fusion of Chinese aesthetics and sustainability.

Through market research, design thinking, and the application of environmental technologies, we are committed to creating aromatic products that carry cultural significance and low-carbon environmental characteristics, catering to the aesthetic needs of modern consumers while guiding their attention towards environmental protection. We employed qualitative and quantitative research methods, including market surveys, focus group discussions, and prototype design. Additionally, we utilized Blender software for design simulation and rendering. Participants in the research included designers, environmental experts, consumers, and cultural scholars, all of whom contributed to the design process, discussions, and product testing. Ultimately, we successfully designed packaging for aromatic products inspired by traditional Chinese aesthetics and utilizing eco-friendly materials, combining traditional calligraphic patterns with natural materials to create a unique aesthetic effect. Through this research, we delved into the relationship between cultural heritage and environmental protection, proposing innovative design solutions that will impact consumer perceptions of eco-friendly products and encourage them to support low-carbon environmental lifestyles. CHALLENGE: Throughout the project development and implementation, we faced several challenges. Firstly, the task of integrating traditional Chinese aesthetics with environmental conservation concepts posed a creative challenge, requiring us to find a suitable balance. Secondly, selecting appropriate eco-friendly materials was a crucial consideration that necessitated in-depth research and testing. Technical limitations during the design process, particularly in the production of packaging containers and printing patterns, also presented challenges. Additionally, we needed to balance cultural heritage with commercial requirements, continuously adjusting and optimizing design solutions. Lastly, launching new aromatic products required thorough market research and analysis to ensure they meet consumer needs and gain market acceptance. Through the team's efforts and innovation, we successfully overcame these challenges, achieving our design goals, and contributing to the development of eco-friendly products.
