Moiré Reveal

A laser-cut wine package that animates as you slide the drawer out. Line patterns on the sleeve and the inner tray glide across each other and the surface appears to move. It is a pure optical illusion, no electronics required.

Moiré Animation · A scene comes alive as the drawer slides out

One of a weekly series of small fabrication exercises. The brief here: turn an everyday packaging object into a tiny moment of delight.

The sleeve and the inner band each carry their own set of parallel lines, tuned so that when they slide across each other they produce a moiré animation. The bottle reveal becomes part of the experience, not an afterthought to the shelf moment.
