The Design

About Xi Space Casa de Chá

O Xi Space é uma casa de chá situada em Ningbo, na China, com uma área de 110 metros quadrados. O interior reúne uma sala de chá, uma área de trabalho e um espaço expositivo destinado a uma coleção privada de utensílios de chá, caligrafia e pintura. Tijolo, madeira, mármore e pinturas compõem a paleta principal de materiais. A disposição confere ao ritual diário do chá um enquadramento sereno e ordenado. O projeto reflete a convicção de que os objetos belos renovam o espírito e de que colecionar é um ato de cuidado com as coisas, e não uma busca por riqueza. O espaço destina-se ao descanso, ao trabalho e ao convívio com amigos.
