About Essence of Time Bivalna notranja oprema

Essence of Time je notranja oprema stanovanja površine 40 kvadratnih metrov v mestu Taipej. Tloris vsebuje vetrolov, dnevni prostor, jedilni prostor, dve spalnici, eno kopalnico in kuhinjo. Nepotrebne stene so bile odstranjene, da se je prostor odprl, na stene in mineralna tla pa je bila nanesena belo-siva mineralna barva. Ukrivljena stena loči vetrolov od sosednjega prostora in deluje kot vizualna osrednja točka. Niz lesenih omar zagotavlja shranjevalni prostor. Monokromatska paleta barv in raznolike teksture sledijo slogu japandi.

Production Technology: In order to achieve the openness and cohesiveness within the space, designer removed unnecessary architectural wall and applied white-grey mineral paint onto walls and mineral flooring. Designer also introduced the curve form for foyer as area divider and also serves as a media to soften the space. A space was created with minimum materials yet with varied texture expressions throughout time and its interaction with natural light. A space with timeless style but it varied by time.

Materials were selected based on its natural traits and texture. For the wood and white-gray mineral paint, designer keeps its wood grain and artisan’s touchup, both provides abundant material expression under monochrome scheme.
Inspiration: The design inspiration was derived from the concept of Japandi style. Designer aims to focus on applying original materials to approach the concept with sophisticated contour line. A space was created with minimum materials yet with varied texture expressions throughout time and its interaction with natural light. A space with timeless style but it varied by time.
