Shine City is a sales center in Chengdu, China, with an area of 1000 square meters. The interior design draws on the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty, a period associated with simple forms, plain colors and plain textures. Silk, used as a painting surface before paper, is the main design reference. Tawny wire glass screens are arranged in arrays to imitate the texture of silk. An installed art lamp recalls the cracked surface of Song Dynasty porcelain. Blank space and restrained detail create a calm and poetic atmosphere.
