As global interest in Korean cuisine grows, many international consumers find Korean ingredients hard to approach. Onggi Jonggi addresses this by offering small portions of gochujang, doenjang, and ssamjang in a convenient package. The design is inspired by traditional Korean houses (gi-wa), featuring elements like tiled roofs and window lattice patterns (wanja, aja, turtle shell, butterfly, and gugu shapes) that subtly spell "KO/RE/AN." Like unique pieces creating a beautiful story, Onggi Jonggi hopes to share not just Korean ingredients but also the rich heritage and traditions they represent with the world.

한식에 대한 관심이 전 세계적으로 퍼지고 있는 것에 반해 한국 식재료 자체에는 어려움을 느끼는 글로벌 소비자도 발견할 수 있었습니다. 이에 따라 ‘옹기종기'는 한식 하면 떠오르는 양념장인 고추장, 된장, 쌈장을 소량으로 구성해 한국의 양념이 생소한 글로벌 소비자들도 가벼운 마음으로 접할 수 있는 패키지를 완성했습니다. 또한 집에서 보관하던 한국의 양념장이라는 전통성을 살려 담장과 기와를 연상하는 디자인을 패키지에 새겼으며, 각 양념장의 라벨은 KO/RE/AN이라는 알파벳을 연상하고 한국 전통 창호(완자살,아자변형살,거북등살,나비살,거북세살 등)에서 모티프를 얻은 패턴을 사용해 다양한 한국적인 요소를 한 패키지 안에서 느껴볼 수 있도록 했습니다.
제각각 다른 형태를 가진 이들이 옹기종기 모여 만드는 아름다운 이야기를 전하며 ‘옹기종기'가 한국의 식재료를 널리 알 수 있는 기회가 되길 바랍니다.
