DESIGN NAME: Shunfa Polar Bear
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Exhibition
INSPIRATION: A large area of the floors and walls is covered with marbles. The natural grains of the stones function as artistic decorations, and create a soft aesthetic in the space under the elaborately-arranged strip lights.
The space features a color palette of white and dark, which are similar to the colors of polar bears' skin and fur respectively. Dominated by a white tone and dotted with black stone materials, its modern and minimalist design style is highlighted.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project is located in Shuitou County, Nan'an City, Fujian Province, China, adjacent to Xiamen Special Economic Zone. Through utilizing a modern and simplistic design language, the designer created a minimalist, humanistic and unique display space for the Chinese stone products brand SHUNFA.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: By using a modern and simplistic design language, the designer created a minimalist, humanistic and unique display space for a Chinese stone products brand.
Different from a traditional showroom that functions as both a products display space and a retailing store, it's more like a situational experience space. Within it, each product is not merely an individual object but becomes an important medium to provoke interaction between people and the space under an experiential commercial setting.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: the project is started in 2014 in China and finished in 2018 in China
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: A large area of the floors and walls is covered with marbles. The natural grains of the stones function as artistic decorations, and create a soft aesthetic in the space under the elaborately-arranged strip lights.
Besides the spatial environment, the aesthetics is also reflected in the contrasting texture of stones and wood. The ingenious use of straight lines and curves produces fantastic visual effect. Green plants are used as decorations of a wall, adding an artistic atmosphere to the space.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Different from the traditional showroom that functions as both a products display space and a retailing store, it's more like a situational experience space. Within it, each product is not merely an individual object but becomes an important medium to provoke the interaction between people and the space under an experiential commercial setting.
CHALLENGE: Since the client was not clear about the positioning of its products, the designer had to change and overturn several layout design schemes until identifying the final one. That was the greatest challenge of the project.
