The Brief

Create a modern mooncake gift set that reimagines a traditional treat through approachable, illustration-led branding, while creating a memorable unboxing experience that balances playful storytelling with simple, functional packaging.

Building the identity

Rooted in traditional Chinese architecture, the Chá House identity pairs a teahouse-inspired emblem with an elegant serif wordmark, balancing flowing forms with refined typography. The teal and yellow palette brings a sense of harmony and youthful energy, while the visual language extends into a playful Mid-Autumn story inspired by moon gates, rabbits, and the warmth of gathering together.

bringing the brand to life

The visual story comes to life through a tea-flavoured mooncake box set featuring matcha, earl grey, and hojicha flavours. A laser-cut lattice sleeve creates a moon-gate effect when aligned with the box, revealing two rabbits gazing toward the glowing full moon. The illustrated packaging concept is balanced by natural product photography across social and email, grounding the campaign in a warm, approachable product experience.

the outcome

The result is a playful and contemporary brand experience that connects traditional Chinese cultural references with modern café culture, creating a memorable story across packaging and digital promotion.
