Mountain River Sage

Mountain River and Sage is a gift set packaging design for baijiu, a Chinese distilled spirit. The outer sleeve is made of matte white art paper with a minimalist bronze foil stamped pattern. Inside, a codex style box of engineered wood with oak veneer opens like a book. The inner lid unfolds into a panoramic illustration of Mount Tai and the Yellow River, printed on textured paper, framing three bottles and a certificate. The design draws on the cultural geography of Shandong Province. A minimalist and modern approach replaces the retro styling common in liquor packaging.

Rene Final Call is a live concert tour stage designed for an arena audience. The four-sided stage measures 28 meters wide, 22 meters long and 2.2 meters high, so sightlines stay balanced. A central turntable rises to 3.6 meters and works with ten independent lifts to form changing topographies. The concert unfolds in four chapters, moving from an underwater scene to terraced rings of turf and cacti. A vertical three-dimensional LED matrix presents a flowing display of lyrics. Modular components allow the structure to be reassembled and reused.

Crafted in acrylic, it reflects the logic of traditional Korean joinery while exploring light, shadow, and material change. The form shifts with angle and illumination, at times glowing, reflecting, or casting colored shadows, combining structural clarity with sensory depth through precise assembly research.
