Silver A' Design Award Winner 2024
This presentation displays approximately eighteen rectangular tea boxes arranged in a diagonal grid pattern across a warm orange surface that fills the entire visual field. Each box measures approximately cube-shaped and features three distinct color zones: a cream-white front face, a medium brown or taupe side panel, and a bright orange accent strip along one edge. Beginning at the lower left and scanning toward the upper right, the boxes recede into subtle atmospheric distance, creating gentle depth. The cream-white front faces display text arranged vertically: at top, small English words reading Drip Tea, followed by three large Chinese characters in bold black calligraphy, then smaller ingredient information organized in a two-by-two grid format. A small marking appears in the upper right corner of each front panel. At the composition center, one box stands open, revealing its interior contents: multiple individual sachets in matching warm orange, folded in an accordion or fan arrangement that spreads gracefully outward like pages of a book. The sachets display subtle embossed or printed details. The overall color temperature feels decidedly warm, like afternoon sunlight or candlelight, with the dominant orange suggesting warmth against skin, ripe citrus fruit, or autumn foliage. The paper surfaces appear smooth yet with slight texture suggesting quality card stock, neither glossy nor roughly textured, but refined and pleasant to touch. The lighting creates soft shadows beneath each box, suggesting gentle overhead illumination without harsh contrast, creating an inviting, approachable atmosphere throughout.
Tests have shown that the effective ingredients concentration of ordinary hanging teabag liquid is only 40 percent of that when directly brewing medicine. This is because ordinary teabags wrap medicine inside, making it difficult for water to flow smoothly from the inside out. This design aims to increase the effective drug concentration and reduce medicine waste. We also hope to use origami technique to save more volume in the product to implement sustainable design concepts. When water is poured into it, it will unfold layer by layer from a flat folded shape, forming a barrel structure.
