There is a large terrace outside of a curtain wall with plenty of light in the project's location, and based on this large space and light, the first material came out of our mind is the Dichroic Film. Because it has great permeability and the various colours can be seen as the direction of light changes, that is the main peculiarity of this project. We crumpled up Dichroic Film and then pasted it onto the surface inside of the curtain wall. These wrinkles change the angle of sunlight coming into interior, which creates a kaleidoscope of colour in the store. From the sunrise to sunset, light changes the indoor environment constantly. When night’s coming, indoor artificial light will also create different light effects. Therefore, time change brings light change and also combines with people’s flow incessantly - its effect is extremely powerful.
In addition, the steel frame which fixed te curtain wall was exposed, so we decided to use a double sided mirror partition install and hide the steel frame. The mirror obscured the steel frame, but also made the whole coffee store become unified. It also allows for a number of spaces to be separated. When walking towards to coffee table near the window, people will find out there is a visual effect of the infinite loop produced by the two relative mirrors.
