Autumn Sky
Autumn Sky is a gift box designed for Chinese moon cakes. The box holds eight moon cakes, a set of knives and forks, and an electronic candle. The sides are made of laser carved silver paperboard backed with a frosted PVC sheet, and two carved layers are separated by 15 mm EVA material to create depth. The lid is made of transparent acrylic. When the candle is lit at night, the carved clouds, waves and forest patterns cast light and shadow on the wall. The form refers to the paper covered window panes of ancient China.
