About Past Time Sales Center
Past Time is a sales center located in Harbin, China, with an interior area of 800 square meters. The design draws on local architectural heritage. Red brick, a common texture on the exterior walls of old buildings in Harbin, is brought indoors as a background wall to recall the past. An art corridor displays photographs of workers from a steelmaking plant, linking the space with the history of the city. Simple leather surfaces are combined with bronze and golden frames and a large art installation, so that historical references meet contemporary design.

- Design Challenge
- Balancing historical and contemporary elements is the difficulty and key point of design. Regarding the history of the city itself as a meaningful source of creation, it reflects and reorganizes the entire past years.
- Research
- The designer takes "industry·memory" as the design theme, and takes the historical events of the machine factory as the axis. In the processing of space and the grasp of the scale, the materials with temperature and the modelling with meaning are used to inspire our understanding of history. Enrich the story of the sales office, thereby creating an exhibition space with contemporary significance without losing modern art.
- Inspiration
- Red bricks are a common texture of the exterior walls of old buildings in Harbin. The designer incorporated the red brick walls as the exterior facades into the interior to evoke memories of the past. The art corridor is hung with photos of workers in the steelmaking plant, connecting the space with the history of the city and carrying the memory of urban development.
- Project Duration
- Heilongjiang, China
- Operation Flow
- The clean and minimalist leather is matched with the luxurious and beautiful bronze and golden frame, injecting modern elements into the historical tone, which is closer to the taste of modern people. In this way, historical relics and contemporary design perfectly meet here.
