Behind the Design
Press Kit

- Unique Properties
- Nowadays, most of the Chinese tea spaces are dominated by the traditional Chinese style. In order to break the fixed thinking, the designer uses the relationship between the wood wall and the stainless steel wall with the same tonality to connect the whole space, which seems to be independent but closely related to each other, so as to overlap the multiple levels of space and show the pure design details.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The project covers a total of 380 square meters. In the entrance area, natural logs are used as the main materials. The designer divides the original logs into wood chips with a width of 100 mm and a thickness of 5 mm. The processed wood chips are flexible and can be bent and folded at will, which makes the design more possible.

- Interior, Commercial, Tea House, Oriental Elements, Natural, Elegant, Cultural, Modern
- Production Technology
- The circular space form made of wood chips retains the characteristics of woodiness, but people also see the formation of new space form. The designer hopes to break the tradition and keep it at the same time, so as to achieve the symbiosis of culture and architecture. The natural stone is polished to form the uneven surface, which also makes the visual sense of stone and wood more perfect and harmonious.
- Design Challenge
- Under the premise of not replacing the original Chinese furniture, it is a big difficulty to renovate the shop in a modern way. Chinese window made of wood is our most common and traditional way, but in this space, the designer hopes that the traditional elements have changed, so the bronze stainless steel material instead of the traditional wood material, making Chinese window and style both Chinese direction and not too traditional.
- Research
- The design purpose of this case is not simply to seek aesthetic changes. In addition to aesthetic feeling, we must also give consideration to practicality and durability, so that the space will last forever. For the designer, it is the most valuable thing to create a comfortable tea space and make users feel happy. He thinks that each material can present different forms of expression through design.
- Inspiration
- Party A hopes that the renovated space can retain the traditional Chinese elements, but does not want to see the traditional Chinese appearance. Therefore, the designer uses the spatial design method to create the state of the whole teahouse, and expresses to people that even the traditional Chinese materials can also have a different sense of design direction. He re sized the wood to create a new spatial framework, which is the highlight of the project.
- Project Duration
- The project started in June 2019 in Chongqing and finished in October 2019 in Chongqing.
- Operation Flow
- The spatial tone is made of gray, coupled with natural lying wood texture and rustic gray floor tiles, creating a simple fashion full of organic style, presenting a rustic and natural aesthetic point of view.
