Production Technology

The entire tunnel is clad in mirrored stainless steel and highlighted by LED strip lights. Shelves are orderly inserted into bespoke slots by drawing on the concept of mortise and tenon joints. The wall cabinet that serves display and storage functions is finished with red paint, which echoes the brand's visual identity. The narrow circular tunnel is like a "wormhole" across time and space, enabling people to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The designers drew inspiration from the brand's logo, which outlines a tea pitcher. Based on the brand logo's pendulum-like form and symbolic meaning, the design team carved out a dramatic opening on the facade, and extended it to the 9m2 tunnel space, thereby creating an infinite realm within the limited site area.

Research
