Design Details

Unique Properties
This series, centered around "Relaxed State", adopts a nostalgic retro caramel walnut-soft warm white tone to create an immersive film-like atmosphere, adding an artistic touch to life scenarios. Classic elements like the curve element and the French-style curve element prevail throughout the whole space, embodying the exquisiteness and elegance of French retro style and building a relaxing, comfortable, and nostalgic living space.
Inspiration
Inspired by the "French romantic living theater", this series integrates elegant French style and retro medieval color schemes and elements to make every space full of French romance. Besides, this series maximizes space utilization, with well-arranged storage cabinets to facilitate efficient storage, injecting a sense of ceremony into users' daily lives.
Research
This series crafts the "Relaxed State" of home from multiple dimensions, including spatial ambiance, design details, eco-friendly materials, and personalized spiritual needs. The retro and nostalgic color scheme, combined with carefully selected materials and superb craftsmanship, transforms each space into an artistic living scene. Moreover, the integrated small-R curved design runs throughout the entire space, creating a sense of curvature and French-style atmosphere.
Challenge
"Relaxed State" themed, this series aims to provide a French retro whole-house solution. The retro and nostalgic film-like ambiance expresses the "Relaxed State" sentiment. The restaurant-themed space, with a "Daytime Café and Nighttime Bar" concept, embodies the "Relaxed State" life attitude. For materials, this series utilizes self-developed healthy and eco-friendly formaldehyde-purifying PVC film that actively removes formaldehyde, fostering a green and eco-friendly "Relaxed State" space.
Realization and Technology
The design line element of the door panels is extracted to craft the wainscoting. The arch-shaped decorative panels have tri-side design lines that echo the door panels and the wainscoting of the same series, achieving door-wall-cabinet integration and showcasing French-style elegance and romance. The handles feature French-style Roman column elements, exuding charm and elegance.
Operation and Interaction
Some cabinets adopt cheese-white aluminum-framed glass doors, utilizing ultra-clear tempered white glass or fine-striped tempered glass. This design highlights the storage-display integrated feature of the cabinets, facilitating item collection and exhibition. The well-arranged internal storage planning of the cabinets interprets functional aesthetics well, enhancing users' living comfort and quality.
Project Duration and Location
The project finished in December 2024 in Guangzhou.
Specifications
The back panel features the stone texture and woven pattern through digital printing technology, ensuring both clarity and color fastness. The cabinet doors, wainscoting, and wooden doors apply an industry-leading tall panel vacuum forming technology to achieve a 2700 mm height (max.), crafting a unified and harmonious appearance. The cabinet uses invisible connectors for shelves and center stiles and hidden door hinges, avoiding exposed mounting holes and guaranteeing a more elegant exterior.
