Kembang

A brand world for a craft soda, "Calamansi & Salt", built around a real-time 3D bottle you can turn in the light, and an editorial story about the three decisions that change everything in the glass.

The idea

A soda you can pick up before you've tasted it.

Real-time 3D · move your cursor across it

Most drink sites lean on flat-lay photography. Kembang asks a different question: what if the product were in the room with you?

The centrepiece is a real-time 3D bottle — lit, refractive, and turnable — so the object has weight and presence a photograph can't fake. Around it, the copy is deliberately editorial: three short chapters on the decisions (calamansi, salt, and the one that changes in the glass) that define the drink.

The result reads as a small brand with a real point of view, not a template with a logo dropped in.

What went into it
Product 3D

A bottle in real time

A Three.js scene renders the bottle live in the browser — real lighting and refraction, turnable, never a pre-baked video.

Editorial

Three decisions, told well

The story is structured like a short essay, giving a simple drink the considered voice of a brand worth remembering.

Identity

Paper, ink, one citrus note

A clean paper ground with a single lime accent keeps the palette fresh and food-safe while the 3D carries the drama.

Performance

Heavy scene, light feel

The 3D is bounded and lazy so the page still opens fast and stays smooth on a phone.
