Songe d'Été Marais

Saturated with imagination and the realm of fantasy, the space is visually augmented by sundry geometric shapes and boundless forms. The touch of an artist is palpable in every aspect of the area, creating a surreal atmosphere under the alluringly extravagant aesthetics of maximalism. Here, the true spirit of "More is more and less is a bore" is realized, showing how interior design does not need to be limited to conventional styles. Portraying the flamboyant aesthetics in an orderly and tasteful way, the luxury of the Art Deco style captivates one’s senses and reaches a spiritual level.

The site of this project is adjacent to the K.M.F.A (Kaohsiung Museum of Arts). Designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Hans Hollein, the museum invites people to gather here and interact with the art and the beauty of the neighborhood.

Containing an evocative symbolism within the panorama, the dreamscape “Songe d'Été Marais” immerses the soul in a golden aura of healing. The addition of sleek Art Deco pieces moreover enlivens the space as well as touches the heart with its comforting energy.

“Songe d'Été Marais,” the large-scale surrealistic painting behind the sofa, renders itself the main focus of the living room, extending the relaxing atmosphere of nature to the space. Beside this mural, an elegant giraffe sculpture holds a crystal lamp in its mouth, creating a layered wilderness next to the forest in the painting. The black cabinet in the wall facing the floor-to-ceiling windows is organically shaped in an irregular semi-ellipse, and its dynamic curves continue the overarching surrealism.

Next to the marble platform where people can sit and lie down in front of the windows in the living room, irregular golden columns convey a scattered tension. The openings between the columns allow one to have an unobstructed view from the living room to the dining room. Opposite to the columns and by the sofa, a projection screen can be lowered from the ceiling. Gazing around this spectacular public area, people gather among vibrant, ornate aesthetics and palettes that evoke joy.
