blackbird concessionaires’ mid-autumn festival mooncake box emulates ferrari brake system

blackbird concessionaires celebrates mid-autumn festival

In celebration of the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, Blackbird Concessionaires — Hong Kong and Macau’s official Ferrari importer — has unveiled this year’s mooncake box for devoted customers. For the 2023 edition, lead designer wutek drew inspiration from the iconic Ferrari 296 GTB, resulting in a novel mooncake box that mirrors the carbon ceramic braking system of the sports car — almost 1:1 in scale. Closely recreating the original component, the moon box features a 3D-printed caliper adorned in rosso color. This disc is crafted from high-density EVA and showcases a true-to-life cross-drilled carbon ceramic pattern, accompanied by six delectable mooncakes.

Designer wutek and Blackbird Concessionaires realized the concept over the course of six months. The Ferrari-inspired mooncake box measures 360 mm in width by 340 mm in height and 145 mm in depth, almost at 1:1 scale with the original braking system. The Mid-Autumn festival, a tradition dating back 3,000 years, is a yearly celebration that holds significant importance in Chinese culture. Families come together to enjoy the iconic egg yolk and sweet lotus seed paste-filled pastry, symbolizing the full moon. Despite its historic roots, the mooncake has witnessed notable innovations in the last decade, with many brands celebrating the festival with their own bite-sized renditions on the sweet treat. Like its 2023 edition, in 2022 Blackbird Concessionaires nodded to the Ferrari 296 GTB, modelling its mooncake box after its engine component.
