About Teastone Mixc Store

Teastone Mixc is the interior design of a tea store in a shopping mall in Shenzhen, China. The 200 square meter space draws on traditional Chinese architecture, and the beam and eaves structure is reinterpreted with simple contemporary lines. Two bars, each 16 meters long, run beneath the main crossbeam, so guests can watch tea prepared with both historic methods and modern equipment. The open seating layout suits single visitors and groups. The main materials are wood grain aluminum, recycled stone, texture coating, composite wood flooring and glass.
