About Oriental Wisdom Interieur Trainingscentrum

Oriental Wisdom is een interieur van een educatie- en trainingscentrum gelegen in Taipei City, Taiwan. De ruimte van 132 vierkante meter dient leden, is gastheer voor uitwisselings- en educatieprogramma's en biedt opslag voor documenten. Oosterse elementen zoals kruidenopbergkasten en donkere houten wanden in de vorm van kalligrafierollen creëren een rustige sfeer. Materialen omvatten steen, gelakt glas, metaal, geborsteld houtfineer en een jaden vloer. Verplaatsbare scheidingswanden en whiteboards maken de ruimte geschikt voor zowel training als vergaderingen. Vloeiende curven en herhaalde roosterpatronen verminderen het visuele effect van het lage plafond en de balk.
