crepe bouquet

Bouquets are widely loved as an easy gift.
However, it is common for florists to make one after it is ordered, which creates a wait time for the customer and makes it difficult to picture the final look. Because flowers, once arranged in a bundle, cannot get enough water to stay fresh, it was difficult to line premade bouquets on store shelves.

A new bouquet was designed to reduce stress in shops and allow more people to enjoy flowers for a longer time.
Whereas at a typical flower shop the end of the stems is wrapped in damp paper for water retention, the new design chose to contain a water supply that fits inside the bouquet. The container holds 80ml of water, and its punctured lid lets the stems through. A leak free structure surrounds the holes to prevent the water from spilling when it is laid on its side. As the design allows for pre-arranged bouquets to be laid out fresh in shops, they can be more readily purchased in fast-paced retail environments, like in business districts or in front of train stations.

Since the design solves the challenge of having to quickly put flowers to a vase to keep them fresh, the covering is intended to be displayed as-is. The crepe shaped paper cover, from which the name “crepe bouquet” originates,
has perforation near the center so that it can be split in two. Flipping the torn-off top upside down and reassembling the two makes a vase-like shape to be self-standing.

花束作为一种简单的礼物被广泛喜爱。

然而，花店通常在订购后制作一个，这为客户创造了等待时间，并且难以想象最终的外观。由于鲜花一旦成束排列，就无法获得足够的水分来保持新鲜，因此很难在商店货架上排列预制花束。

一种新的花束旨在减轻商店的压力，让更多的人更长时间地享受鲜花。

在典型的花店，花茎末端用湿纸包裹以保持水分，而新设计选择包含适合花束内部的供水。容器可容纳 80 毫升水，其刺破的盖子让茎通过。孔周围有一个无泄漏结构，以防止水侧放时溢出。由于该设计允许预先安排的花束在商店中新鲜摆放，因此可以更容易地在快节奏的零售环境中购买，例如在商业区或火车站前。

由于该设计解决了必须快速将鲜花放入花瓶以保持新鲜的挑战，因此覆盖物旨在按原样展示。绉纱形状的纸封面，“绉纱花束”这个名字的由来，

在中心附近有穿孔，因此可以一分为二。将撕下的顶部倒置并重新组装两者，形成一个花瓶状的形状，可以自立。
