Shanghai Fritz Hansen Lounge

The combination of catering, entertainment, and furniture brand is a prospective attempt, unparalleled in Shanghai. The overall space presents a simple and modern aesthetic impression by applying the classic style of Fritz Hansen to the space design of the second and third floors. The different atmosphere within the space is created by decorating Fritz Hansen furniture so that every detail is well-crafted, and each spatial style is distinctive. The classic building structure in the old house proves to be a visible reference of value. The designer tried to restore the wooden structure that had been damaged, to reproduce the characteristics of the old house and hide the space's traces of time. Furthermore, the designer desired to highlight the wooden structure in different circulation routes. While restoring the wooden structure of the interior roof, its design ensures the energy-saving and thermal insulation functions and beautiful appearance. The indoor transitional spaces separate various functional areas to enhance the sense of layers and perfectly solve the exposure of indoor electromechanical machines. Victorian elements are noticeable from the details. The hardwood floor and carpets with diverse styles incubate varying regional atmosphere. The beauty of decoration and nature is merged, as plants, and saleable art works and furnishings are in common sight. The iron-made embellishments, the retained wealth of the house, are turned into staircase hand-railing after repair. It reveals incredible spectacles under lights, enabling people to put all their worries behind. To shape a new immersive one-stop shopping experience, the designer hoped that customers could experience the furniture in real scenes and provide them with an array of choices and differentiated feelings through sorts of scene-making. The second floor is designed into a membership restaurant where customers can enjoy the most authentic Cantonese cuisine. The third floor is built into an entertainment club. People can read their favorite books serenely in the reading area, or invite their friends to have tea in the tearoom, having the spirits relaxed. And they can appreciate the charming western leisure and recreational activities in the cigar bar and club. Entering the lounge, people can review the trails of history of the old house, perceive the mutual reinforcement between the house and Fritz Hansen, a centenary-honored Denmark brand, and enjoy all the pleasure it offers. Fritz Hansen is not only a furniture brand, but also represents a lifestyle defined by habits that go deep in people’s mind. In this lounge, multiple experiences brought by food, entertainment, and furniture will redefine a new lifestyle, which help people who love life, pursue quality, and desire to try new things can find their oasis.
