The Design
About Salute to the S Innenarchitektur einer Wohnung
Salute to the S ist die Innenraumgestaltung einer 78 Quadratmeter großen Wohnung in Taipeh, Taiwan, die für eine dreiköpfige Familie geplant wurde. Der Grundriss ist von der Designphilosophie Philippe Starcks inspiriert und hält Minimalismus und Maximalismus, Licht und Dunkelheit in Balance. Eine große, unregelmäßig geformte Deckenleuchte, die auf dem Zusammenspiel konkaver und konvexer Linsen basiert, wechselt über dem Essbereich ihre Farbe. Eine eingebaute Sitzbank rund um die Kücheninsel schafft zusätzliche Sitzgelegenheiten für gesellige Runden. Durchgehend kamen schadstoffarme, VOC-zertifizierte Farben und Platten sowie LED-Leuchten zum Einsatz.

- Production Technology
- The giant, mirror-shaped, irregular ceiling light pays homage to Starck’s masterpiece, which works on the interplay between concave and convex lenses. While the light color shifts, a splendid, surreal atmosphere imbues the dining area. The built-in banquette maximizes seating around the island, encouraging intimate gatherings and creating a tasteful lifestyle with a sense of occasion.
- Design Challenge
- Complemented by soft furnishings, a white-based, well-structured, and linear-layered backdrop frames the view of the surrounding greenery. A lumpy red carpet that can be moved adds a playful vibrancy to the sunlit and minimal living area. The main wall stretches in an elongated arc, leading a slithering transition toward the dining section.
- Research
- To comply with sustainable consciousness, only eco-friendly materials were applied during the construction. For example, both the paint and carpentry boards are low VOC and GREENGUARD certified. Lighting fixtures are assembled with LED devices to efficiently save energy.
- Inspiration
- Through a serial arrangement of Starck’s iconic signatures, the space is full of a tapestry of contrasts. Clean-lined, contrasting and subversive design elements establish a spatial narrative that feels both simple and sensual, echoing the essence of modern artistry. Backlit indirect lighting accentuates layers of dynamic streamlines, unveiling a sense of fluid movement. Living flows gently between the light and the dark, minimalism and maximalism, stillness and motion, enriching the family in a harmonious rhythm of artistry and innovation which is deeply connected to modern aesthetics.
- Project Duration
- Taipei city, Taiwan
- Operation Flow
- This apartment benefits from sweeping mountain views, embracing its natural surroundings for the family of three. At the entrance, a round-angled pillar demarcates the space into distinct areas, while the horn-shaped ceiling evokes Starck’s understated design motif. Along the pseudo-cement paneled pathway, the color palette transitions from pale hues to deep, multi-textured tone in the culinary section. While the overall ambiance varies, the dining area inherits the symbols of Starck with a theatrical twist.
