Shguijiu Dian: A Futuristic Packaging Design Inspired by Shanghai Tower

Liang Chen's Award-Winning Design Merges Architecture and Baijiu Packaging

Shguijiu Dian, a high-end Baijiu packaging design by Liang Chen, takes inspiration from the Shanghai Tower, China's tallest building. This innovative design, which won the Golden A' Packaging Design Award in 2023, represents a bold leap in the traditional Chinese Baijiu industry.

Liang Chen's design is a testament to the power of cultural symbols and landmarks. The Shanghai Tower, a symbol of modernity and future possibilities, serves as the primary inspiration for this design. The result is a packaging design that not only represents a high-end Baijiu but also embodies the spirit of Shanghai - an international city with a vision for the future.

The unique properties of Shguijiu Dian lie in its application of architectural aesthetics. The packaging design mimics the spiraling curves and asymmetric shape of the Shanghai Tower, creating a sense of infinite possibilities. This cross-domain approach is a daring innovation in the Baijiu industry, aimed at attracting a younger audience and emphasizing the theme of the future.

The design realization technology used in Shguijiu Dian is equally impressive. The crystal bottle is paired with a mirror-like metal cap, creating an illusion of a single, indivisible entity. The silver-plated packaging box, designed with an irregular curved surface, produces undulating changes, adding to the sense of high-tech artistry.

Shguijiu Dian is not just a product, but an experience. The combination of urban landmark and product naturally draws attention and emotional resonance from users. Both the outer box and the bottle can be displayed as art and collection exhibits, reducing material waste and promoting sustainability.

Despite the challenges faced in production, particularly in presenting the urban spirit, product positioning, and high-end gift in one product, Liang Chen's design team successfully delivered a unique and influential design. The result is a product that stands out from similar offerings in the market, reflecting its international positioning and future development.

Shguijiu Dian is a testament to the power of design in bridging cultures and industries. By drawing inspiration from a city's landmark, Liang Chen has created a packaging design that not only promotes a brand but also celebrates urban culture and the spirit of resilience in the face of adversity.
