About Zens Teatime Шоурум

Zens Teatime — це шоурум, розроблений для демонстрації продукції, пов'язаної з чаєм. Дизайн спирається на елементи східноазійської архітектури, використовуючи природні матеріали, просторову послідовність, світло і тінь. Відвідувачі можуть вільно заходити, сідати, відпочивати та пити чай, знайомлячись із представленою продукцією. Основний каркас виготовлено з квадратного залізного профілю, а стіни сформовано з дев'яти тисяч попередньо виготовлених бамбукових жердин, з'єднаних із каркасом за допомогою компонентів, які можна складати та вставляти. Усі матеріали підлягають переробці, тому шоурум можна демонтувати та відбудувати в інших місцях.
