The Tet Gift Set 2022 is a special creative product we designed for the Year of the Tiger, a year of “Rise & Slay.” DPLUS hopes this year’s offering will be a unique gift for you, symbolizing resilience and strength in recovering from the pandemic, and nurturing the belief in a bright future.
Each year, we create a special gift set. The 2021 set featured a majestic and dignified design, conveying wishes for a joyful and optimistic spring. This year, we aim to “Bring the Tiger’s Vibe,” instilling the spirit of the tiger -Rise & Slay- into the new year, decisively facing the challenges of 2022.
The “Rise & Slay” spirit of 2022
The main concept is “The Tiger’s Vibe,” inspired by the Year of the Tiger – powerful and resilient. The “vibe” in this concept is “Rise and Slay” representing the fight against challenges, especially the global COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting resilience and readiness to overcome difficulties.
Spirit plays a crucial role in every step and decision, not only for individuals but for communities as well. We must not only maintain our spirit to overcome the challenges of 2021 but also rise and be more resolute in 2022.
Design Language: Centered around the tiger motif (the year’s symbol) along with traditional patterns, DPLUS will express this through a modern design language using colors, lines, and techniques. Thus, contemporary design is a suitable choice, allowing us to keep up with new design trends while fully expressing the beauty of traditional culture.
Pattern Origins: The patterns throughout the design are derived from unique details of the “Five Tigers” painting and the “Thuy Ba” patterns from the Ly & Tran dynasties. Traditional values are reconstructed and expressed in modern materials, making each product a touchpoint of the era, a junction between old values and new creativity.
The Tet Gift Set 2022 includes Tiger Seal, Li Xi (Lucky Money), and a New Year Greeting Card for DPLUS’s valued customers.
Inspired by royal seals from the feudal era and the Year of the Tiger, the Tiger Seal will help you mark important moments in 2022. The traditional and modern elements are reflected in the structure of the Tiger Seal. It has a cylindrical shape, with a geometric and powerful head, distinct from conventional tiger images. The lower body is surrounded by the “Thuy Ba” pattern, an ancient Ly & Tran motif representing origins and reflecting the continuous flow of life.
In terms of color, we chose the tone of Blue Sapphire. The seal features traditional patterns but is presented in fashionable, modern colors, giving a contemporary feel to the item.
The Li Xi uses the colors of the Vietnamese flag as the main theme, vibrant and festive. Each tiger design on the Li Xi was hand-selected and sketched by DPLUS, highlighted by shimmering details on the tiger and Lý-era cloud motifs. This combination creates a balance between the tiger’s strength and the elegance of the Ly-era clouds.
Each Li Xi is designed with three different tiger poses, always embodying strength and resilience. The three designs are tucked into a foldable Li Xi envelope, reflecting the breath of ancient tradition while being crafted with modern materials and lines.
Fully embodying the blend of tradition and modern creativity, the Tet Gift Set 2022: Rise & Slay will mark an important milestone in our pursuit of artistic and creative values.
The product development process reflects the dedication and care of the DPLUS team and aims to deliver a special gift to all our valued customers. Thus, it is not just a Tet gift, but also carries deeper meanings that we wish to convey: creativity, dedication, and sincerity.
