Unique Properties: This series innovatively introduces the emotional interaction-oriented concept. On the basis of Chinese aesthetics, this series adopts an L-D-K-W linkage space layout with themed functional kitchen and balcony modules, connecting different spaces to meet family members' interaction needs and providing a natural and comfortable life experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: The pioneering living-kitchen dual-faced cabinet has a through-type structure at the center that acts as an interaction window. This design enables both space partitioning and linkage, a breakthrough compared to regular open-plan living-kitchen layouts. The walk-in corridor door with concealed hinges helps create a hidden walk-in professional kitchen and balcony spaces, linking the living-kitchen dual-faced cabinet. This creates interconnected L-D-K-W spaces, facilitating emotional interaction.
Tags: Healthy kitchen concept, LDKW themed space linkage, Social Zen-tea culture, Chinese-style aesthetic layout, Professional kitchen-balcony themed modules
Production Technology: SPL new materials and synchronized steel plate technology are utilized to give a visual and tactile experience akin to solid wood, creating a natural, calm, and elegant atmosphere. The high-frequency hot pressing technology is applied to form curved surfaces with soft arcs, which ensure a smooth space transition to enhance safety and beauty. Meanwhile, this series offers replicable standard modular components.
Design Challenge: Inspired by traditional Chinese Suzhou Gardens with framed views, this series applies the living-kitchen dual-faced themed functional cabinet and walk-in corridor doors with concealed hinges to link themed spaces and build hidden walk-in professional kitchen and balcony spaces. It addresses the pain point of multiple space linkage and creates an integrated, interactive, linked, and healthy Oriental aesthetic kitchen.
Research: This series aims to build healthy kitchen spaces through innovation in three aspects: interactive scenario space, humanized functional design, and scientific storage design. It skillfully integrates Chinese-style aesthetic design, creating a series of traditional Chinese-style living spaces and related products while delivering a more scientific and healthy lifestyle.
Inspiration: Inspired by traditional Chinese Suzhou Gardens, this series features innovative artistic scenes, securing harmony between humans and nature. The original living-kitchen dual-faced themed cabinet and walk-in corridor door with low-cost concealed hinges link four themed spaces: L (Zen Tea-themed living room), D (Light-dinner prep zone), K (Chinese kitchen cooking space), and W (Hidden walk-in balcony washhouse), creating a healthy kitchen to facilitate emotional interaction among family members.
Project Duration: The project finished in December 2024 in Guangzhou.
Operation Flow: The living-kitchen dual-faced cabinet combines multiple functions: food pass-through window, light-dinner prep zone, washing zone, item storage zone, etc. The balcony themed cabinet is divided into different zones according to functions and workflow, providing a convenient laundry experience. The Chinese kitchen space features golden circulation paths for efficient cooking and storage. The living room, Zen Tea-themed, offers a platform for physical and mental relief and friend meetings.
