DESIGN NAME: TAETEA
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Tea Experience and Retail
INSPIRATION: This designer believes that tea is not only a culture, but also a fashionable drink. Therefore, in spite of the production and promotion of Chinese tea drinks, the store design of TAETEA does not use the popular design element of "Oriental Artistic Conception", but instead uses more diverse design language to transform abstract artistic expression into perceptible spatial language and to increase benefits for commercial operation.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In the design of this project, the designer subverts many traditional things. The first is to simplify the elements and design the installation art in space. The second is to make a material change. The whole space is not only a simple artistic expression, but also a solution to the limitations of the original space. It is not necessary to taste tea in an antique environment.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: A rotating staircase connected to the first and second floors is set up at the main entrance, and smart glass blades are designed around the stairs, just like a tea tree extending upward. People can experience this device with different feelings in the space.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in December 2017 in Kunming and finished in September 2018 in Kunming.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: In order to fully show the brand culture of TAETEA, the designer combines stainless steel materials with wood products, and chooses red as the main color of the space.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The project covers a total of 300 square meters. There is no colorful interior to render, nor complex elements to build, so that the design returns to the pure essence, thus creating a natural and comfortable environment.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This project is located in the commercial area of Kunming Qicaijunyuan. TAETEA itself is a chain brand with cultural origins. Nowadays, tea drinks bring people more of an experiential feeling. In order to attract people's attention through design, we need to break through the past practices while following the principles.
CHALLENGE: It is a specific space based on oriental life and customs. Therefore, how to break through the definition of traditional space on the basis of traditional culture is a question we should consider.
