The concept is to create the harmony space with rusticated materials. We chose the Plum Port as the main wall.
10How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
We named the project base from the main color in the space, not "someone's home", This color comes from the name on the swatch. The name of ochre on the swatch is Plum Port. By the way, the name in Chinese is not determined by swatches, but by the traditional oriental colors with some metaphors.

Some hole board can provide the faint figure behind the door or some only provide ventilation but not visualization of objects in the cabinet.
