Xiao Liu 30th Anniversary Gift Box

Silver A' Design Award Winner 2025

This rectangular gift box measures approximately twice as wide as it is tall, oriented horizontally and photographed against a deeply shadowed background the color of dark chocolate or espresso. Beginning with the background environment, vertical golden-tan lines resembling bamboo stalks or reeded panels appear along the left edge, while a warm reddish-amber glow emerges from the right side, creating an intimate atmosphere. The box itself dominates the center of the composition, its surface divided into two distinct zones. The upper portion, occupying roughly two-thirds of the box face, displays an extraordinary raised texture of flowing curved lines in soft ivory cream, like topographic contour lines on a map or the natural patterns in wood grain. These lines flow in gentle waves across the surface, creating shadows and highlights that give the texture tactile presence. A horizontal golden band crosses the box at approximately one-third from the bottom, warm as autumn sunlight, bearing small date markers that span several decades. At the left end of this golden strip, a circular medallion projects outward, roughly the size of a large coin, featuring radiating lines like sunbeams emanating from a central design, rendered in warm polished gold tones. Below the golden band, the lower portion presents a cleaner ivory surface with elegant golden typography, including traditional characters and Latin letters arranged in careful horizontal alignment. The overall impression is one of warmth, refinement, and celebration, with the rich contrast between the luminous cream box and the dark surrounding environment creating a sense of presentation and occasion.

This initiative is tailored for an entity that has over thirty physical outlets in the Xi'an metropolitan area. The packaging design is delicately intertwined with the consumer experience. It artfully integrates the thematic element of time to signify the shared temporal journey of the company and its customers, epitomizing the entity's core values and prosperity. Moreover, it encapsulates the emotional resonance elicited from the consumer base. Let time not wither; may our bond be eternal!
