The design of the Guan Zhan Freshly Stewed Fish Maw focuses on how to provide consumers with an easily accessible fish maw product in the simplest way possible. As a leading brand in Chinese nourishment, Guanzhan Freshly Stewed Fish Maw is deeply ingrained in the hearts of Chinese consumers with its highly recognizable brand image. The new container design is inspired by the ritual jade cong, utilizing a super-elliptical container design, combined with the luster and texture of glass, to embody the Chinese style jade-like elegance. To satisfy Chinese consumers' unique aesthetic tastes and their pursuit of the premium and ceremonial feel of the Guan Zhan brand, the design approach had to be extremely restrained. It was essential to create a container that consumers would feel close to and be eager to pick up, touch, and experience. Inspired by ritual jade cong, Guan Zhan not only maintains its sense of history, quality, and prestige but also aligns with contemporary aesthetics and usage habits. The overall design solves the critical issue of accommodating traditional Chinese aesthetic pleasures with modern usage habits. Fish maw has long been a high-end nourishing delicacy in China, and as a leading brand in this category, Guan Zhan needed to display a design that is both traditionally exquisite and compatible with modern usage. Visually, the design incorporates the blue of ancient official robes and the shape of official hats as symbols of prestige and value. Inspired by the ritual jade cong, the design enhances the comfort and beauty of the grip, making the container more user-friendly. Guan Zhan offers a product that is luxurious, traditional, ceremonial, and easy to use. Society's progress means an evolution in aesthetics, where consumers seek not just luxury and ceremony but also simplicity and convenience to match modern lifestyles. Guan Zhan needs to retain its brand image while reshaping its form to fit contemporary tastes. Our design has found this perfect balance, marking a victory for the integration of traditional cultural symbols and contemporary aesthetic living.
