Unique Properties: Designers are full of imagination under the space planning, walking out of the elevator hall and stepping into the bar. The product display area is integrated with the space of the hall, and the image of tea and wine is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Magnificent decoration and rigorous and meticulous structure not only show the connotation of traditional tea, but also have a sense of innovation in tea drinking.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 364 square meters.
Tags: Interior, Commercial, Fitness, Teahouse, Pure, Asian style.
Production Technology: The whole space uses light-colored wood veneer and walnut wood color as the base, which is clean and refreshing. At the same time, plants are skillfully used in the space to decorate and adorn, advocating a healthy and natural atmosphere. Let vision and smell intersect and reflect, and make them become the focus protagonists.
Design Challenge: The "meaning" of oriental tea culture is extremely broad and profound, from tea set, tea, tea art to tea tasting, fragrance, and rest experience. Displaying the "meaning" of this kind of tea in the high and low interesting space is like embracing the "big content" in the "small space", letting the space serve as a medium, and integrating the meaning and scenery.
Research: We start from the space atmosphere, focus on presenting the brand temperament of concave inkstone. In the overall control of the space, the rigorous wooden veneer grille and vertical line elements are used as the cover of the facade, redundant decoration is eliminated as much as possible, the green plant landscape is naturally dotted, and the low-key dark gray bricks are matched with the background of the ground lights, so that the wild interest overflows in the black and gray silence and precipitates a unique sense of non-daily dining ceremony.
Inspiration: Hiding in a quiet business district, not escaping from the city, but far away from the hustle & bustle, elegant & warm, natural & quiet tea and wine space.
Project Duration: The project started in July 2022 in Nanning and finished in October 2022 in Nanning.
Operation Flow: The space area is divided into tea drinking area, small box and tea ware display area, which not only keeps the independence of goods, but also does not lose the essence of space serving people. The displayed products are distributed in space in the form of matrix array, which is related to the spatial moving line.
