Ancient Chinese literati have long used Tea Culture to summarize their love for nature and humanism, Tea Culture has expressed oriental beauty in a unique gesture. In this project, M-Design extracts Tea Culture style and elements for the interior space, creating a venue for sensory pleasure that provides an immersive sales experience.



The overall design utilizes the Chinese slanted-roof structure. The exuberant space has progressive layers, with clear, transparent axes, and visual guidance that’s both opposite and continuous.



Between the main areas of reception and negotiation, wooden grating acts as partition in an open form, the uncertainty of half obstruction represents the essential fun of tea ceremony. The same tea leaf offers different tastes to different people, there’s no absolute standard, it’s hard to describe, vague and mysterious.



The space adopts a classical and simplistic base tone, using a large amount of wooden detailing. The slanted grating ceiling conceals the lintel, so the beamless structure presents a more fluid view. Shedding off the harshness of straight lines, the curved pendant in the central area seems more agile, using traditional weaving craftsmanship to represent tea leaves’ freely unfolding shapes in water. Glistening, layered, and dynamic “tea leaves” outline spatial poetry.



The designer put a lot of thoughts into the details, the soft yellow tint lamps, the Chinese ink painting style cushions, especially the touch of turquoise, altogether livens up the space like vivid miniature mountains and lakes, and seeps poetic elements into every corner. Instead of overdone dramatic decorations, the design focuses on spatial layers with simplistic diversity.
