Chocolate gifts have long been pigeonholed as tokens of romance, primarily exchanged between lovers on Valentine's Day. Xi Yang's latest creation, the "Secret Garden," challenges this stereotype, presenting a chocolate gift that is as appropriate for business associates as it is for family elders. This design stands out with its stately black and gold color palette, exuding a sense of grandeur and formality that makes it suitable for the most distinguished occasions.
What sets the "Secret Garden" apart is not just its universal appeal but also its meticulous craftsmanship. The gold-striped ribbon that adorns the package is the result of a specially commissioned printing process, using an extra-long diameter roller to achieve the precise pattern and spacing that Xi Yang envisioned. This attention to detail ensures that each gift is not only a pleasure to taste but also a masterpiece to behold.
With dimensions of 23cm by 23cm by 3cm, the "Secret Garden" chocolate gift is a substantial offering, both in size and impact. It is a tangible representation of Xi Yang's commitment to redefining the art of chocolate gifting. The design's uniqueness was recognized when it was awarded the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Food, Beverage, and Culinary Arts Design category in 2024.
The journey of the "Secret Garden" began in Beijing in 2016, with a clear vision to fulfill the desires of customers seeking a grand chocolate gift that could be presented on any formal occasion. The project was completed in June of the same year, and by August, the "Secret Garden" was available to those eager to elevate their gifting experience.
The accolade of the Silver A' Design Award is a testament to the "Secret Garden's" innovation and excellence. The award is reserved for designs that demonstrate a high level of expertise and creativity, and Xi Yang's chocolate gift does just that. It not only meets the technical specifications of a premium product but also captures the imagination, evoking feelings of amazement and delight in those who receive it.
