Sweet Osmanthus
Sweet Osmanthus is a packaging design for a Chinese wine made from sweet osmanthus flowers and grape juice, produced without added water. The box measures 230 by 90 by 90 millimetres. The design draws on the culture of Jiangnan, a region known for its long history and its classical gardens. A window motif is used as the main theme, because windows express the character of Jiangnan gardens. Each window offers a different view. The four sides of the box together form one continuous garden scene that retells the story of the region.
Sweet Osmanthus Wine by Yunxin Chen has been identified as an outstanding representation of communication design by the A' Design Award. Sweet Osmanthus Wine earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Packaging Design in 2020. The A' Packaging Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design recognition program that recognizes outstanding design of bottles, boxes, cans, pouches, tubes, cartons, wrappers, bags and more.
