Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope is a restaurant interior design covering 200 square meters in Taipei, Taiwan. The facade concept is based on a kaleidoscope and presents irregular geometric figures in walnut veneer and laminate sheet with a concrete pattern. Eco-friendly plaster is applied to the walls and ceiling with a trowel finish to create irregular lines. Three fixed steel columns of the former metal house are concealed by arc forms that echo the facade. A hand-drawn painting of a warrior holding a wine bottle marks the main wall, and old southern pine lumber is kept.

Gravity Cinema

Vincent Li Cinema Interior Sunday, 24 September 2023

Gravity

Gravity is a cinema interior in Shanghai, China, covering 2800 square meters. The design is inspired by the idea that extreme gravity forms a black hole that distorts space and time. A white swirl on the ceiling recalls this effect, with stacked light coves that rise from low to high like a revolving staircase. The swirl also shapes the walls and the floor. Flowing lines cover the walls, with gold and silver accents that twist into forms recalling rolled leaves. Materials include stone, acoustic panels, plastic laminate, carpet and gypsum board.

Balustrade Chair

Zhejiang Sci-Tech University Chair Furniture Saturday, 23 September 2023

Balustrade

Balustrade is a chair designed for short and temporary rest. The design is inspired by unconscious behaviour, such as leaning on a table or against a balustrade. Balustrade offers two sitting positions. The first is sitting directly on the top, like a chair. The second is a leaning posture, like leaning on a railing. The form is simple, and the intent is brief use rather than long comfort. Several units can be overlapped to reduce transport volume. The chair measures 620 by 385 by 720 millimetres.

Bi-Wabisabi

Bi Wabisabi is a micro residence in Taipei, Taiwan, with a floor area of 26 square meters. The interior design is based on the travel memories of the owners in Japan. A nostalgic mood is created through a careful division of the small space. The narrow, vertical height of the home is used as an advantage, and a bookshelf reaches from the floor to the ceiling. The bookshelf recalls a bookstore in Japan that the owners admire. Completed in 2019, Bi Wabisabi allows the owners to revisit treasured memories in daily life.
