Astronomy
Dr Alva Astronomy is a gift box designed for the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese celebration. The box holds moon cakes and a small projection lamp shaped like a telescope. The telescope is taken out, placed in the observatory section of the box and rotated to project an image of the moon. The design refers to the custom of moon viewing and to the idea of bringing the moon into every household. The gift box is made of cardboard and paper with printing and plexiglass parts, and measures 350 by 350 by 550 millimetres.
