Hong Lou Meng Dream Ten
Hong Lou Meng Dream Ten is a luxury packaging design for baijiu, a traditional Chinese spirit. The bottle silhouette follows the roofline of the Grand View Garden, a setting from the classic novel Dream of the Red Chamber. Plantain leaf patterns are arranged around the bottle in layers, recalling folded skirts. The bottle is made of fine ceramic and finished with cloisonne enamel work, a traditional Chinese handicraft. Contrasting colours make the form visually clear. The shape supports easy handling and opening, and clear labelling presents the product information.

Hong Lou Meng Dream Ten Packaging won the Iron A' Design Award in Packaging Design in 2025. The A' Packaging Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design prize that recognizes superior design of bottles, boxes, cans, pouches, tubes, cartons, wrappers, bags and more.
