This project, Chan · Chng (pronunciation of “decorative tiles” in Taiwanese), chooses Taiwan Tea—the iconic produce of Taiwan—as the theme to design the new patterns of Taiwan decorative tiles and put on the tea packaging. By combining with representative elements of Taiwan, the Taiwan decorative tiles bloom and reborn with a brand new look.
We select 9 representative teas from all over Taiwan and transform their unique elements into patterns. Furthermore, they also preserved the original features of Taiwan decorative tiles. For example, the main circle shape and repeated arrangement, so that the patterns can exist alone or be collaged into continuous patterns. After being put together, the tiles appear as circles, as if overlooking the bottom of the cup, reflecting the gradation of various tea colors and the image of the blooming of tea leaves.
The tiles of tea patterns are applied to the packaging of tea gift boxes, and these 9 kinds of tea are designed into 9-square gift boxes. Each square box has a corresponding tea tile, which can be disassembled and put back into the corresponding groove in the gift box, and combined into a continuous pattern of tea tiles, as a new decoration.
