The Design

About Past Time Salgscenter

Past Time er et salgscenter beliggende i Harbin, Kina, med et indendørsareal på 800 kvadratmeter. Designet trækker på den lokale arkitektoniske arv. Røde mursten, en almindelig tekstur på ydervæggene af gamle bygninger i Harbin, bringes indendørs som en baggrundsvæg for at mindes fortiden. En kunstkorridor viser fotografier af arbejdere fra et stålværk og forbinder rummet med byens historie. Enkle læderoverflader kombineres med bronze- og gyldne rammer samt en stor kunstinstallation, så historiske referencer møder moderne design.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The project is located in Harbin. Harbin, as the Moscow of the East, has a special historical process and geographical location, which has created Harbin’s diverse culture and exotic atmosphere. Taking the responsibility of the inheritance of architectural culture, the designer extracted elements from traditional Harbin architecture and constructed a space with memories of the past and modern luxury.
Dimensions & Packaging: 800 square meters
Tags: History, Modern
Production Technology: Red brick background wall, large-scale art installation, artistic micro-jet photography works
Design Challenge: Balancing historical and contemporary elements is the difficulty and key point of design. Regarding the history of the city itself as a meaningful source of creation, it reflects and reorganizes the entire past years.
Research: The designer takes "industry·memory" as the design theme, and takes the historical events of the machine factory as the axis. In the processing of space and the grasp of the scale, the materials with temperature and the modelling with meaning are used to inspire our understanding of history. Enrich the story of the sales office, thereby creating an exhibition space with contemporary significance without losing modern art.
Inspiration: Red bricks are a common texture of the exterior walls of old buildings in Harbin. The designer incorporated the red brick walls as the exterior facades into the interior to evoke memories of the past. The art corridor is hung with photos of workers in the steelmaking plant, connecting the space with the history of the city and carrying the memory of urban development.
Project Duration: Heilongjiang, China
Operation Flow: The clean and minimalist leather is matched with the luxurious and beautiful bronze and golden frame, injecting modern elements into the historical tone, which is closer to the taste of modern people. In this way, historical relics and contemporary design perfectly meet here.
