Design Details

Unique Properties
The HD·Mengyin Qing Yun Series II Cabinet combines the leisured and indifferent emotions of literati and chivalrous figures with a modern lifestyle. This series innovatively adopts a walk-in Chinese-style kitchen space with an open-plan social Zen tea functional area to create a brand-new integrated living space that caters to the lifestyle and spiritual needs of users pursuing traditional culture and the Eastern ambiance.
Inspiration
The HD·Mengyin Qing Yun Series II Cabinet drew inspiration from bamboo, a traditional Chinese element with rich cultural connotations. This series uses modern metal materials and craftsmanship to form multiple original bamboo-textured patterns and bamboo-shaped handles. By combining oriental aesthetics and modern lifestyle, this series creates an integrated multifunctional living space, presenting a brand-new interactive lifestyle concept.
Research
Research type: Interior space design. Research object: Creating an integrated living space of modern oriental styles. Research results: Inspired by natural elements like bamboo and stone, this series launches multiple original patterns and bamboo-shaped handles. It utilizes an open-plan and a walk-in spatial design to build a brand-new integrated kitchen-dinning space, showcasing the new oriental design aesthetic.
Challenge
The design challenge of this series lies in building oriental-style interactive functional spaces featuring door-wall-cabinet integration. The HD·Mengyin Qing Yun Series II Cabinet uses walk-in folding magic doors that can be folded and inserted into the gap between cabinets, enabling door-wall-cabinet integration. Moreover, its open-plan social Zen tea area, kitchen-dining integrated space, and other functional zone designs interpret a brand-new interaction lifestyle concept.
Realization and Technology
The core board is made of a formaldehyde-free, eco-friendly original bamboo board. The door adopts paint-free craftsmanship while subtly incorporating the bamboo pattern into the texture of the door panel. The three-color mixed powder-coated door panel well combines natural and plain styles. The handle in a bamboo shape has been well integrated into the door, as it's directly milled from the door panel.
Operation and Interaction
An open-plan social Zen tea area is added. Its high cabinets for storage and displaying Zen tea sets provide exclusive storage and display space for tea enthusiasts. The island unit for Zen tea serves as an emotional interaction place where the family and their friends can enjoy tea to exchange ideas, embodying a brand-new interaction lifestyle. The ultra-thin on-counter cabinets with an electric lift-up function between the wall and floor cabinets realize perfect wall space storage.
Project Duration and Location
The project finished in 2023 in Guangzhou.
Specifications
The high cabinets module utilizes side folding doors, and the Chinese-style cooking area uses walk-in folding magic doors to maximize space efficiency through folding and inserting doors to gaps on two sides of the cabinets, achieving door-wall-cabinet integration. Additionally, the open-plan design helps build a walk-in Chinese-style kitchen space.
