The Design

About Ripples Material Room

Ripples is a materials showroom in Taichung City, Taiwan, covering 60.5 square meters. A former office space was converted into an open showroom that also serves as a shared workspace for customer meetings. Two convex shapes on the ceiling form the starting point of the design. Systematic wood decor of 8 millimeters is thinly cut and bent to create curves and fold lines that extend across the ceiling and the walls. A total of 200 products are displayed, so visitors can see and touch real textures. The modular materials can be copied and assembled in other cities.

Production Technology
Overcoming the vertical and horizontal quality of systematic wood decor, we use processing, cutting, and bending in order to fulfill the design of curves and fold lines and apply it to the wall and the ceiling in the space.
Design Challenge
Systematic design can be duplicated and reproduced in large numbers and in different places. All the building materials of this shared workspace can be copied and assembled in other cities to achieve modulization.
Research
We redesign the office space into an open materials showroom where it can be used when a customer meeting is required and to create a shared workspace experience. By exploring characteristics of materials through senses, discovering wonders in creativity, and realizing the possibilities in the process of design in full, we expect to fulfill the meticulous and intuitive practicality of everyday life and see people as the essence of the space.
Inspiration
Using two convex shapes on the ceiling as the starting point, the 8mm systematic wood decor is thinly cut and bent to achieve curves and fold line design and then extends to the walls, which cleverly explores the possibility of system wooden decor, redefine and break away from the norm. The spirit of craftsmanship and the design ideas are realized in the space where a full and abundant texture is shown freely in a unique way.
Project Duration
The project started in December 2020 and finished in March 2021 in Taichung City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
Calculating the ratio of wood decor and plan the traffic of the space with the display of the owner’s 200 products in the showroom, we let users directly experience and feel the real proportion of the products, veins, textures, and effect in order to fulfill the end result of feeling the materials in the first hand.
