01. RYODAN OFFICE

BAIWORK, NO.133 SICHUAN MID. RD. AT THE BUND, SHANGHAI

Ryodan by Seiya Nakamura 2.24 is a Japanese multidisciplinary consulting agency that provides services of holistic strategies, specialised in the areas of distribution, press, branding, and creative assets, connecting clients to top-tier cross-industrial talents.

Located on the 3rd Floor of the new art and design epicentre in Shanghai, BAIwork building, the Ryodan Office space intends to convey their idea of providing a blank-canvaslike environment to function as a office showroom that manifests works of designers that cooperate exclusively with Ryodan as well as hosting occasional social events that join business insiders together.

I was the lead designer of the project, working with two other team members. I was responsible for the spatial design, bespoke furniture design, material selection, and preparation of relevant presentation documentation.

02. ESLITE SPECTRUM BOOKSTORE

NO.18, ZHUANGJING N RD., ZHUBEI CITY, HSINCHU COUNTY, TAIWAN

Eslite Spectrum store applies a large amount of dark green and woody colours to create a spacious and comfortable environment full of a sense of nature. Five artistic light panels on the wall are displayed in the store that coheres with the rest of the interior. The black-andwhite photography works by Jian Zixin “roaming Iceland and Berlin” introduces a sense of silence in the vast land that guides the visitors to gradually slow down and be immersed in the world of art and literature.

The spatial design of the project was coordinated by a senior interior designer. I was responsible for the construction drawings of all the bespoke furniture in the bookstore as a junior designer.

03. MITSUI JAPANESE RESTAURANT

NO. 34, NONGAN ST., ZHONGSHAN DIST., TAIPEI CITY, TAIWAN

The bespoke made lights, displays, and furniture design in Mitsui Nongan 34 Japanese restaurant in Taipei has taken a huge part of the newly renovated project that intends to present a new statement for the high-end chain restaurant group in Taiwan. A large amount of copper, glass, and dark colour natural wood veneer is used on the bespoke made objects to form a sense of luxuriousness throughout the dining experience.

The spatial design of the project was coordinated by a senior interior designer. I was responsible for the construction drawings of all the bespoke furniture and light as well as organising planning documentation and relevant specifications of FF&E for the project.

LABELHOOD SHOWROOM

CHANG LE XIN CUN, JING AN DIST., SHANGHAI

Creative direction and set design for LABELHOOD Lab Showroom Pre-Autumn 2022.

HOLIDAY HOME

Taking advantage of the location of Lab Showroom (traditional Shanghai house), familiar objects of everyday were reformed, enlarged and twisted with a 2.5D approach. Interspersed with chandeliers and wine glass sculptures. Creating a ‘holiday home’ for temporary escape from the daily affairs.

05. ME MARGARET HOWELL

RCA MA INTERIOR DESIGN GRADUATE PROJECT

The project is set to establish an atelier studio for the clothing designer Margaret Howell to create bespoke garments within the east set of railway arches at Valentia Place, Brixton, as well as incorporating an integral space that manifests Margaret Howell’s philosophy and aesthetic as a whole.

MARGARET HOWELL

Margaret Howell is a British designer who designs clothes for both men and women. She began working from home in 1970 and today Margaret Howell Ltd has shops in the UK, Europe and Asia. For her, clothes are part of a considered lifestyle rather than a passing trend, and value materials, craftsmanship and quality.

06. PROXIMITIESA CHRISTMAS INVITATION

RCA MA INTERIOR DESIGN RESEARCH PROJECT

The project concept is based on the title ‘A Christmas Invitation’ which people around the site area are all welcome to celebrate Christmas at the project site,106 Commercial Street regardless of cultural, religious and ethnic background.

The design is a representation of Santa’s home which attempts to get people who are usually excluded from Christmas feel more engaged to the celebration and have a more authentic experience in an inclusive homey spatial setting.

07. PUB - THE M.A.C. TREE

RCA MA INTERIOR DESIGN RESEARCH PROJECT

M.A.C. is the abbreviation of Music/Art/Culture. The project aims to create a pub where different cultures are celebrated through the three aspects mentioned. Rather than interpreting differences of people’s backgrounds and ethnic origins as boundaries, the pub unites its visitors and the surrounding community precisely based on the diversity of population in London.
