Japanese Sake

This is a special sake design created to commemorate the 180th anniversary of Hasegawa Sake Brewery. 180 years of traditional taste and skills have been passed down through the generations, and the tree ring was used as the main visual to express history and the future. The colors of the entire outer box were inspired by ink painting to express tradition and luxury. The commemorative logo is printed in gold to match the family crest of the brewery. The bottle inside is a contrasting black image. The roughness of the bottle expresses the weight of tradition and technology.

Hainan Beer

Hainan Beer is a beer packaging design inspired by the landscape and culture of Hainan. The glass bottle carries relief patterns drawn from sea waves, sailing boats, lighthouses, coconut trees and seabirds, and its slim shape supports a one-hand grip. The aluminium can is printed with thermochromic ink, so a postmark pattern appears gradually as the temperature falls during refrigeration. The outer box is made of kraft paper and shaped like a suitcase. The packaging links the beer to local scenery and to a relaxed local lifestyle.

Snow Zero

Snow Zero is a packaging design for a low-alcohol, low-calorie hard sparkling water. The name Zero refers to midnight, seen as both an ending and a beginning. The infinity symbol on the package expresses the idea of continuation. The figure 0 is rendered with a three-dimensional liquid metal effect to suggest a light and refreshing taste. Illustrations on the bottles draw on pioneer visual art styles for a futuristic look. The water drop shaped bottles can be joined mouth to mouth, so two bottles form a new infinity symbol. Aluminum cans and glass bottles are used.

KK-Park

KK-Park is a signage system for a cultural and leisure block in Yancheng, China. The site, a former playground, was renovated as a place for cultural exchange between China and South Korea. The design reinterprets Korean elements, including the ribbons of traditional Korean costume, the traditional color scheme known as Obangsaek and the strokes of Korean characters. The signs follow the belt-like loop of the site. Tall wayfinding signs stand near each entrance to guide visitors. The boards are made of bent stainless steel, prefabricated and installed on site.

Eastern Seawall

Eastern Seawall is a signage system designed for a coastal promenade in Dapeng Peninsula, Shenzhen, China. Six separate sections along a 32 kilometre shoreline are linked by one unified visual language. Signboards, site maps and ecology introductions are placed along roads and entrances. Arrows shaped by tidal flow give clear guidance. The boards are made of anti-corrosion merbau hardwood with a steel cross bracing skeleton. Modular structures allow flexible assembly on seawalls, steps, slopes and reefs, and reduce wind loads in a salty and humid climate.
