Chinese agency, Shenzhen Lingyun Creative Packaging and Design Co., Ltd., developed an intriguing bottle design (above) for their client Jingpai Co., Ltd. Designed by Xiongbo Deng, they submitted it as their entry titled, “BanHu” to the Graphis Packaging 10 competition. The name BanHu literally means ‘half bottle.’ They chose this name for the product because it aligns with an ancient Chinese philosophy that says: things in excess overflow in the opposite direction. Just as the moon wanes and affects the tide of the ocean.
The bottle itself mimics the flow of water up until it becomes a white color. There is also a small image of a sage looking up at a carving of the name of the product as his boat rests on the surface of the water as if he is looking at the moon. This packaging is pleasant to look at and would be a unique addition to any wine shelf.
