Lika Lab is a boutique store in Hangzhou. The client chose pink and blue as the main tone of the space. This choice of bright color would easily overshadow the product. Therefore Say proposed the concept of "de-materialize", which weakens these two colors, frosted resin and mirrored stainless steel are used as the main materials of the space. Under the translucent skin, the material and structure are no longer directly visible to the eye. The whole space is light and soft, and the space and goods are instantly balanced appropriately. Say uses red and blue blocks to represent displayed goods on watercolor paper, and uses ice to represent time. In space, products will disappear with the melting of ice, just like trends and people's aesthetics are always flowing. Frosted resin appears translucent. The reflective resin floor and mirrored stainless steel tell rationally what the space is. Both frosted glass are "floating" onto the window sill by 12 exclusively designed hardware, which not only isolated the real world, but also brings soft light. As the medium of emotional expression in this space, material appears objective and secondary. Space and products, representation and abstract, reality and memory, nature and isolation, all kinds of seemingly competing but balanced relationships are interwoven in Lika Lab, which is also new experience that Say hopes to bring to consumers.
