SugarLady

SugarLady is a pop-up store interior created for a ladies apparel brand in Shanghai, China. The sugar crystal is used as the main theme, linking the interior to the name of the brand. Each display cell is built from a steel frame covered with an industrial nylon sheet. LED panels of 600 by 600 millimetres light the cells from within, so every unit glows softly. The cells are simple and light, so they can be assembled, moved and recombined in many arrangements. The total area is 6 by 10 metres and includes a fitting room.

MouMou Club

Being a Shabu Shabu, the restaurant design adopts wood, red and white colours to present a traditional feeling. The use of simple contour lines reserves customers’ visual attention to food and diet messages displayed. Since quality of food is a prime concern, the restaurant is layout with fresh food market elements. Construction materials like cement walls and floor are used to build the market backdrop of a big fresh food counter. This setup simulates real market purchase activities where customers can see food quality before making choices.

Both Boutique and Music is a retail interior project in Red Town, a former ironworks in Shanghai that is now a sculpture art district. The scheme covers a boutique of 370 square meters and a music store of 170 square meters set over two levels. The design is built on the idea of contrast between Western and Eastern, old and new, and static and dynamic. The boutique is treated as a bridge that brings goods from around the world, while the music store is arranged around the act of focusing. The surrounding art park setting is retained to encourage exchange among local residents.

DREAM DAIRY FARM RESTAURANT

The following interior design was realized for a restaurant built on a farm surrounded by a lush forest. The three dimensional white lattice nesting above the beams of the existing wooden structure forms the canopy of a forest that brings together the old and the contemporary by suggesting the superimposition of time and space. By superimposing time and space and bridging the old and the new, the repeated entwinement of lattice and light offers a mystic illumination and the spatial experience of penetrating into a deep forest.

Chongqing Mountain and City Sales Office

“Mountain” is the main theme of this sales office, which is inspired by the geographical background of Chongqing. The pattern of grey marbles on the floor is forming in triangular shape; and there are lots of odd and sharp angles and corners on the feature walls and the irregular shaped reception counters, to demonstrate the concept of “mountain”. In addition, the stairs connecting the floors are designed to be a passage through the cave. Meanwhile, LED lightings are hanged from the ceiling, imitating raining scene in valley and presenting natural feeling, to soften the whole impression.
