About Painted Skin 紋身舖室內設計

《畫皮》係一間位於成都、面積達240平方米嘅紋身舖室內設計。設計主題緊扣舖頭嘅用途，裝飾細節同紋身文化同出一源。一條彎曲而燈光昏暗嘅走廊引領人入到空間之內，內裏以濃厚嘅復古風格作裝潢。天花懸掛住一盞骷髏骨吊燈，係人手花咗六個月時間製作而成。雕花木櫃、屏風同吧檯為深沉嘅色調增添一份奢華感。喺新古典主義風格嘅紋身區旁邊，設有兩間主題客房，分別命名為「鏡宮」同「洞穴」。

Unique Properties: The design theme of the whole tattoo shop is highly consistent with its the purpose, and its decorative metaphor and tattoo culture have the same origin. The dialogue between architecture and space has risen to artistic exploration and self-examination at the level of humanity. The rhythm of the whole space is simple, coordinated and complementary.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 240 square meters. In addition to tattoo area that continues the neoclassical dark style, there are also two Vip areas, the Mirror Palace and the Cave.

Production Technology: The elegant and gorgeous stage and Corinthian Roman column height restore the delicate, elegant and magnificent tone of Rococo period. Although the furniture style from Van Der Rohe is simple, it is well integrated into the background, without any abruptness.
Design Challenge: The skeleton chandelier, which lasted half a year and was made by hand, is watching the customers quietly on the ceiling. The wooded cabinets, screens and bars are decorated with a lot of carved patterns, which make the best of the craftsman's ability and infuse a trace of luxury into the dark style.
Research: Tattoo originated from totem worship. In ancient China, there was a custom of "hairless tattoo" in Wuyue area. The patterns include ancestors, gods or totems. The cave theme room tells the world that tattoo is the earliest art form of human beings, do not look at it in color. In this cave that returns to ancient times, people need to look at this art with the same simple and clear eyes, let tattoos return to the origin, and express themselves with art.
Inspiration: Both old school and new school style tattoos come from the American understanding of traditional and totem symbols thousands of years ago. They are concise in color, vivid in expression and have their own cultural connotation. In order to fit the properties of the main items of the shop, and at the same time, highlight the continuity and compatibility of the new and old schools, the whole space is full of rich retro style.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2018 in Chengdu and finished in July 2019 in Chengdu.
Operation Flow: In the shadow of the corner, a steel mermaid is half hanging in the air with its back to the wall. There is almost no light in the whole corridor, only a small point light source above the Mermaid Girl, which makes her shadow on the wall looks more lonely. The corridor is not long, but it is curved and mysterious.
