Nephrite & Unboxology
You ever notice how some product boxes feel like little altars? I’ve been thinking about the hidden rituals baked into packaging design—like the scent, the texture, even the way you open them. Do you think the modern consumer is chasing some sort of modern mystique?
Yeah, I’ve seen that too—boxes feel like little temples, and the whole unboxing ritual is almost a ceremony now. The scent, the embossed texture, the way the flap pops open all play into that sense of “special” that makes you feel part of a club. I think a lot of people are chasing that little spark of mystique, turning the mundane into a mini‑experience that feels exclusive or sacred, even if the product inside is just another gadget. It’s almost like we’re replacing old rituals with these brand‑crafted moments.
