The Design

About Cosmetea Pop Up Design d'intérieur de boutique

Cosmetea Pop Up est une boutique de vente et d'exposition située à Shanghai, en Chine. L'espace de 9 mètres carrés occupe un ancien restaurant de brioches vapeur sur la rue Yuyuan, une artère riche de plus de 100 ans d'histoire. Le projet marie le thé et les cosmétiques. Une ouverture spectaculaire en façade, inspirée de la forme du pichet à thé du logo de la marque, se prolonge en un tunnel circulaire étroit habillé d'acier inoxydable miroir et éclairé par des rubans LED. Les étagères s'insèrent dans des logements sur mesure inspirés des assemblages à tenon et mortaise. Un meuble mural rouge assure l'exposition et le rangement.

Production Technology
The entire tunnel is clad in mirrored stainless steel and highlighted by LED strip lights. Shelves are orderly inserted into bespoke slots by drawing on the concept of mortise and tenon joints. The wall cabinet that serves display and storage functions is finished with red paint, which echoes the brand's visual identity. The narrow circular tunnel is like a "wormhole" across time and space, enabling people to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Design Challenge
How to subverted the conventional definition of beauty, innovatively integrated tea with cosmetics is the challange for this project.
Research
The project sits on Yuyuan Road, which has a history of more than 100 years and carries the cultural context of Shanghai. The brand selected a former small steamed bun restaurant at a corner of Yuyan Road, and asked Nax Architects to convert it into a pop-up for retailing and exhibition purposes, hoping to create a new venue that caters to the lifestyles of contemporary urban people and convey the genes and values of the brand.
Inspiration
Tea has long served as a carrier. It's good for health and also acts as a medium of socializing -such dual attributes have been given diverse interpretations in the new era, in order to fit into the lifestyles of modern urbanites.
COSMETEA is a tea cosmetics brand, which breaks the conventional definition of beauty and innovatively combines tea materials with its "Tea Beauty Science", to convey modern fashion aesthetics derived from Oriental naturalism.
Project Duration
Location: Shanghai, China
Completion time: the end of 2019
Operation Flow
The designers drew inspiration from the brand's logo, which outlines a tea pitcher. Based on the brand logo's pendulum-like form and symbolic meaning, the design team carved out a dramatic opening on the facade, and extended it to the 9m2 tunnel space, thereby creating an infinite realm within the limited site area.
