The design team starts from the essence of life to create a spatial atmosphere, extracting the spirit of traditional Chinese culture, and conveying the rhythm of oriental culture and the beauty of simplicity and aura. The organization of space is like the trajectory of life exploration, sparse but open, dense but relaxing. The internal space shows different moods under various natural lighting as the cultural atmosphere and oriental charm linger around. The use and imitation of natural light indicate the simplicity and rhythm of the building and go into the extension of the interior space with the change of time by modern techniques. It creates a contrast of light and shadow and lets people feel the style and oriental charm. The large floor-to-ceiling windows and courtyard mingle, and the delicately painted extending and expanding poetic atmosphere of an interweaving art space.
The soft decoration follows the concept of Oriental Zen and focuses on keeping the plain color of the original wood and the clean texture of stone and other materials. It draws inspiration elements from Taihu Lake with humanistic artworks of Oriental temperament. The Oriental aesthetic art flows quietly in the space and merges into the vitality and romance of nature and light. The pure and minimal furniture style makes the overall atmosphere warmer and softer. When the pure character of Giorgetti’s furniture meets the humble and quiet oriental spirit of Zhi Rong Lu, the Chinese artist, the room offers unlimited imagination space. Mr. Lu combines Eastern philosophical thinking with Western design language and techniques. Giorgetti’s furniture gives a remarkably modern touch to express a more philosophical flavor to the space.
The design uses simple lines to tell the eternal classic design and interprets the essential modern oriental aesthetics with the minimalist design. No matter how simple the appearance is, it can make people feel the charm and connotation in response to the belief of Less Is More.
