Six initial design schemes 1

Yanshu：

1. The overall shape design

The main pattern of the thermos cup is partly derived from the shape of the Boshan furnace.

The bottle body part: it presents a shape similar to the undulating peaks, with a number of staggered edges, just like the delicate mountain shape on the Boshan furnace, these ridge lines are smooth and layered, creating a fairyland-like artistic conception, fully showing the unique shape beauty and Chinese charm of the Boshan furnace.

• The choice of materials

Shell material: The high-quality stainless steel material is selected as the shell of the thermos cup, which has good thermal insulation performance, durable and easy to clean, which can effectively protect the inner tank and maintain the temperature of the drink, and the gloss of stainless steel can also add a modern sense to the thermos cup, so that it can show the traditional charm of China without losing the fashionable atmosphere.

Decorative material: In the key parts of the thermos cup, such as the edge of the cup lid, the connection between the cup lid and the cup body, etc., wood materials are used for inlay or wrapping. High-quality woods such as mahogany and sandalwood with Chinese characteristics can be selected, which are finely polished to show the natural texture and warm texture of the wood, which is in sharp contrast with the stainless steel material to further enhance the charm of Chinese style.

•  Decorative details

Carved patterns: Carved traditional Chinese patterns. For example, with the auspicious moire as the main decorative element, the shape of the fairy mountain on the bottle body is also surrounded by moire, showing the continuity and agility of the moire.

• Functional design

Heat preservation function: The advanced vacuum insulation technology is used to ensure that the inner tank can maintain the temperature of the drink for a long time. Whether it is hot water or cold drinks, it can maintain a suitable temperature for several hours, for example, hot water can still remain above 50°C after 6 hours, and cold drinks can be maintained below 10°C within 3 hours, to meet the daily drinking needs of users.

    Handle design: At the top of the thermos cup, a foldable leather handle is designed. The handles are made of high-quality leather, such as cowhide, in classic black, brown or dark red colours to match the overall style. The length of the handle can be adjusted, and it is convenient for users to adjust the length of the handle according to their own needs by setting adjustable metal buckles or snap buckles. When not in use, the handle can be folded up and attached to the top of the thermos cup, which hardly takes up space; When you need to carry it by hand, unfold the handle and adjust it to the right length, so that you can easily carry the thermos mug on the go.   

Non-slip bottom design: At the bottom of the thermos cup, that is, the circular base part of the simulated Boshan furnace base, a circle of anti-slip rubber pads is set.

Layered area design: Use a layered design in the small detachable cup that comes with the thermos cup. Divide the cup into two parts. The upper layer is narrower as an area for sugar and cups, and the lower layer is wider as a cup, and when drinking water and tea, pour the liquid in the thermos cup into a small cup to drink.

Yanping：

1. Appearance features: Since the client is interested in Chinese porcelain, the insulated cup takes the shape of Chinese porcelain, which looks different from the conventional insulated cup that is usually cylindrical. The patterns are also arranged in a two-dimensional and four-dimensional continuous pattern similar to the blue and white porcelain (I’m sorry I didn’t show it in this sketch, it’s hard to depict in this sketch.)
2. Functional innovation: The lid of the cup can not only function as a lid, but it can also be inverted while drinking to become a delicate drinking cup, meeting the client’s frustration of not being able to take a beautiful insulated cup out.
3. Material selection: The client has insulation needs, and ceramic material can also provide good insulation, and is easy to clean, making it convenient for the client to use.
