Aquetha

Aquetha is a packaging and branding design for aged Japanese sake. The bottle is hand-made by a glass artist and shaped by the force of gravity, which gives a natural roundness that suggests the passage of time. The rounded form also supports smooth aging after bottling. Transparent labels are produced with blank letterpress printing to reflect the clear character of ice-temperature aging. The simple outer box has a dent between the lid and the body to express the aging timeline. The design presents aged sake as an artwork rather than an ordinary product.

The Ancient Mexicans

The Ancient Mexicans is a graphic identity for a permanent exhibition of Mexican pre-Hispanic cultures at the Museum of the Northeast in Monterrey, Mexico.

The pictograms are reflected and repeated to form patterns that work as modules and adapt to each application. Information design within the exhibition supports the visitor experience.

Fold

Tests have shown that the effective ingredients concentration of ordinary hanging teabag liquid is only 40 percent of that when directly brewing medicine. This is because ordinary teabags wrap medicine inside, making it difficult for water to flow smoothly from the inside out. This design aims to increase the effective drug concentration and reduce medicine waste.

When water is poured into it, it will unfold layer by layer from a flat folded shape, forming a barrel structure.

In 2022, a flowing feast of art moved performance art into the natural environment, and an eco-dining table served dishes made from local seasonal ingredients.
