Packaging often serves a practical purpose, but what if it could be something more—a canvas for storytelling, emotion, and art? This question inspired my project for a packaging class, where I chose to reimagine tea packaging in a way that would celebrate both the product and the artistry behind it.

I didn’t want to design a simple container—I wanted to create a tea party centerpiece. So, I took inspiration from famous impressionist paintings and created a pop-up carousel book. Each page is like a stage set where layers of artwork come together to create a mesmerizing 3D effect. And just for fun, I made up some fancy names for tea flavors that capture the essence of these iconic paintings.

Without the aid of die-cutting machines, I meticulously cut, folded, and assembled each piece by hand, ensuring that every detail was in place. This project was more than just an academic exercise; it was a personal exploration of how creativity can transform everyday objects into something extraordinary.

If you’re curious how creativity can elevate your brand or project, let’s explore how we can bring this level of artistry to your next venture. Send us a message and let’s embark on a creative journey together.
