The Design

About Cifi Ningbo Honored Palace Sales Gallery

Cifi Ningbo Honored Palace is a sales gallery in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, completed in 2021. The interior was developed in cooperation with the bookstore brand Zhong Shuge, and it combines books, coffee and records within one composite space. Areas are named after books, and a bear figure from the property brand appears throughout the rooms as a recurring visual theme. Airplanes and sea-crossing bridges served as design references. The arrangement guides visitors through art, so the character of the city is experienced from within the space rather than observed from a distance.

Design Challenge
One interesting thing is that the graduation books we made above the bar. When customized all the similar color books we didn't realize that it all gets mixed by shipping. It took a whole day for us to distinguish all of them and put them on the shelves, It's more like a color gradation game than installation for us.
Inspiration
The whole project uses airplanes and sea-crossing bridges as inspiration elements, so that the most exciting city charm is endlessly released in this world. The feelings of the visitors are guided by art in the hustle and bustle of the city, and gradually integrated into the local space, rather than being an alienated bystander.
Project Duration
The project, located in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, was completed in 2021
