The Design

About Xi Space Casa de té

Xi Space es una casa de té situada en Ningbo, China, con una superficie de 110 metros cuadrados. El interior reúne una sala de té, una zona de trabajo y un espacio expositivo para una colección privada de utensilios de té, caligrafía y pintura. El ladrillo, la madera, el mármol y las pinturas constituyen la paleta principal de materiales. La distribución otorga al ritual cotidiano del té un marco sereno y ordenado. El diseño refleja la convicción de que los objetos bellos renuevan el espíritu y que coleccionar es un acto de cuidado hacia las cosas más que una búsqueda de riqueza. El espacio está concebido para el descanso, el trabajo y los momentos compartidos con los amigos.
