Making an ingenious use of “joints” as a designing tool, we create consistent design, usage and aesthetic logics that run through all the furniture, space, building façade and packaged products we designed. A transforming furniture system allows the space to be simply switched between different modes; a retreated glass door set apart the entrance to be thoroughly connected with the outside, breaking the indoor and outdoor boundaries. In this project, we intend to express a sense of strength that permeates the space naturally. Upon entering the space, visitors are embraced with a primitive and coarse feeling communicated through a subtle spatial discipline. After a little while, however, he/she will see the exquisite side within the seemingly primitive appearance. Such a strong bond between the primitive and exquisite delivers the essential spirit of the space. After skillful renovation, the exposed concrete creates a style of its own. Joints are like fairies of the space, physically connecting all the elements into a whole being. Through joints, we create a consistent design logic which connects all the elements, from architectural features to the relationship between interior and furniture design, all the way to the brand packaging and products. Under a consistent design logic and unified architectural context, we also develop a furniture system which includes door handles, lamps, fence gates, coffee tables, exhibition stand and adjustable seats. Features of birch composite board and metal parts are leveraged to the utmost to integrate furniture and joints system into the primal spatial discipline.
