Finishes

We spent several days observing the changes of the light and shadow projected from outside all day long. At the same time, we checked the changes in the sunlight level over the year at the latitude where the project is located. Using walls as panels, decorative lines as hills, and sunlight as painting brush, we present 365 variations of light and shadow on the wall.

Based on the oriental elegance, we tried our best to convey our designing thoughts through decorations. Instead of using the redundant decorations like flowers, we carefully blend pumpkins, white gourds and pomegranates that symbolize perfection and happiness of Chinese people into the space. This unique and native collocation is rare and thoughtful, which fits the spirit of Confucianism generated in Shandong Province, China. This strong contrast of layers, colours, warm and cold, volume, reality and yin and yang makes it possible to strike a balance of spatial aesthetics, spatial tension and spatial aura. Our relentless efforts are paid to create a decoration art of Chinese people.

In this project, I deliberately amplified the scale of space and the details of the project, which is something I have never tried. The amplification ranges from the layout to the furniture, then to every detail. It is a experimental attempt to improve the concept of the "new size". The space effect after the project landing proved that the attempt was successful.

These intrinsic logic and meticulous arrangements are the inheritance of a pragmatic and can only be understood by professionals and cannot be revealed in words. It is my responsibility to answer for myself and to share more experience with the industry, which is also the utmost respect to non-professional homeowners.

The furniture in the project is treated as a work of art and is all bespoke. In the choice of fabric, we drew on the characteristics of Armani furniture, hoping to enhance the comfort and texture of the entire upholstery fabric. We also use black wood veneer to form the black colour of the furniture. This contrast between light and dark colours, as well as the addition of subtle textures of the cushion bags and fabric, conveys the luxury of the space.

At the same time, table lamps, tea tables, and screens are designed according to the oriental future, blending the oriental luxury with the contemporary and international background of the west, thus formed this kind of corporate culture parlour with special, luxurious style. The overall space focuses on subtle expressions of detail in a simple design. The grand space aura reflects a sense of humanity.
