RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The small hall on the right is six meters high, and the video playing on the wall is a piece of art taken by the designer from the Art Basel in Hong Kong. With the surging of the fog, the whole picture changes from hazy to gradually clear, to full bloom, and then to the haze, which is a metaphor for reincarnations in the world. There is a stage surrounded by semi-translucent gauze in the air, where harp players perform every night. Consumers can only hear the sound but not see the people.
CHALLENGE: The atmosphere that designer wants to create is a kind of mistakenly entering the wilderness, the garden, the study room and the Southern Song Dynasty which bring the sense of time-travel, the sense of amazement. This kind of feeling has no violation and pressure, but surprises, happiness and nourishment...
