Design Details

Unique Properties
Multiple shades of green with different textures and interlaced white elements complement each other. Two white ellipsoids and three cylinders are randomly scattered in the room, connecting yet dividing different areas. Ellipsoids include a surprising storage function. White snake-shaped curtains can be folded or unfolded to hide or reveal wallpapers and other hard decorations. The mural of jungle also weaves into the elements of soft decoration. All materials are put together in the cabinet for daily sorting and classification to give clients an intuitive and improved experience of sample selection.
Inspiration
Themed on the conception of spring to interpret green life in modern design. The designer matches fabric decoration with furniture and life scenes, to convey cultural connotations of a blossoming spring beaming with vigor and vitality in unique arrangements for the soft decoration outfit. The whole space, well-arranged yet still in a pleasant ambience of leisure and ease, coveys the concept and verve of nature and home art. After all, spring is everywhere.
Research
For inhabitants pursuing an aesthetic life, soft decoration is no longer just one of the basics for living space but a kind of visual art with spiritual connotations interpreted by spatial layouts. The soft decoration showroom, a solution provider for fabric decoration and home design, focuses on conceptions behind products and their infectious empathy for inhabitants in particular.
Challenge
The sequentially gradient green arcade, its natural color transition from dark green to pale green on aluminum lines and arches in array with dramatic visual impacts of spatial tension. The white pipe installation below ceiling casually stretches out to different areas like a ribbon, and even through walls, reflecting linear and non-linear thinking in reality and injecting elements of dynamics into the whole space.
Realization and Technology
Arched windows made of imitation copper stainless steel, with semi-permeability from the exhibition area to the sample area, connect indoor and outdoor space while blocking interior views to some extent. The bottle-lid-shaped ripple installation over the sofa in the exhibition area vividly generates an intriguing sense of weightlessness.
Operation and Interaction
Two white ellipsoids and three cylinders are randomly scattered in the room. The circle of the reception area enjoys certain privacy and uniqueness. Countertops in the sample area are made of green-vein marble, the same material for corridor flooring and echoes with the theme of green life.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in February 2019 in QuanZhou and finished in April 2019 in QuanZhou, and was opened for business in QuanZhou in May 2019.
Specifications
The overall space dimensions are 16mx7.8mx3m. The sequentially gradient green arcade with a height of 3.2m.
