When we first visited the site, we recognized this wide tree that about a quarter of the width of the store front. The footway is so narrow that it is stretched to pass two people simultaneously. To deal with this tree of surprise and joy, we take it to be a part of our design，as a real tree in our psychedelic micro-forest.
Then we extend the patio and plant a small forest to be friends with the big fellow at front. we introduced pedestrians by designing the free flowing space, and followed with a "psychedelic sky" ceiling that was inspired by the name of the store "mistea".

The "Little Forest" is made of seven transparent acrylic columns filled with fragments of green glass bottles, standing between the floor and the ceiling just like a tree trunk. During the night, the light passes through unevenly stacked pieces of glass, glowing the green light with rich layers. "Psychedelic" came from the mirror wall of the "small forest" infinite reflection. Located on both sides of the "small forest", it is a mirror wall that opens the door to different world. The lights of the small forest hit the fragments of the green glass bottle, giving off a faint green. With the mixture of lights, all reflection brings people to the realm of "psychedelic". It is a micro-nature in Shanghai, a tea shop full of psychedelic/dreamlike feeling and softness. In a faraway place, you can see this piece full of dreams, the little forest is waving to you.
