See the landscape in food, and live in the thick and light.
Four-way food, eight major cuisines, human taste.
"Eating" every holiday has become Chinese important thing. The feelings of warmth, abundance and happiness are always connected to a variety of cuisines and become a unique presence in our memories. In the New Year, we reunite at home to talk about the past year, one dish at a time, interpreting our connection with our relatives and friends, with food, and with life.
This case is a good place for the owner and three or two friends to eat, drink tea, and chat about the taste of life, the design team takes the oriental aesthetics as the background, combined with the Western decorative arts, and interprets the oriental literati life picture of "poetry as the companion, Zen tea life", and more delicacies bring fireworks to the world.
Oriental beauty
Philosophical truth-seeking, moral or religious goodness,
Somewhere in between, it expresses the deep realm in our emotions
And the harmony of the realization of personality is "beauty".
——Zong Baihua, "Aesthetic Walk"
The owner yearned for the prosperity of Chinese thought and culture during the Tang and Song dynasties, and aesthetically, the grace and magnificence of the Tang Dynasty and the simple aesthetics of the Song Dynasty both had a unique charm. In terms of design, it combines contemporary aesthetic needs and returns to the elegant poetic realm of classical, conveying a unique understanding of oriental aesthetics.
Oriental aesthetics is an expression of the spirit, in addition to all symbols, with rhythm, rhythm, form, color synergy, to convey a harmonious human and natural, ethereal embrace all things, the unity of things and self outlook on life.
In addition to the clever use of cultural symbols, the designers focus on infiltrating the charm of the East in every square inch of breath. At the entrance, a graceful classical floral carpet is full of vitality, and in the 1920s and 1930s, French designers who pursued cutting-edge talents combined various Chinese classic elements with traditional colors to lay out the traditional Chinese artistic conception on the classic wool carpet. These carpets were woven by weavers in Tianjin and sold to the European and American markets, leading to a fashion.
The simple lines of the mountain strip, the wall on both sides of the typical oriental landscape paintings, different forms of expression, so that the whole area is full of fun, laying the oriental natural quiet atmosphere.
The dragon bottle is placed in the entrance, and the dragon is mighty and majestic, flying in the air, quite a momentum.
Taste its tea
"It is better to have no food for three days than to have no tea for a day", the literati and scholars have piano, chess, calligraphy, poetry, wine and tea, and the common people have chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea, elegant and customary appreciation, everyone can taste a taste.
When about three or five friends, sit down at the table, play with the porcelain and purple sand in the collection, brew a pot of good tea, talk about it, and the flow of life is enough to get two or three confidants.
The staggered five table legs break the equilibrium symmetry and grow naturally like wild plants. The quiet power and gentle toughness form the balanced beauty of the flow in the tea room space.
When sitting alone, lay a tea mat, watch the leaves swirl, stretch, precipitate and float in the water, burn incense and read, and live freely at the moment. You can sit in the tea room area, or you can enjoy a terrace, looking at the Miao River, swimming in the sky.
The entire tea room area is dominated by black, blending modern aesthetics with oriental classics, and the elegant lines of the tea table and tea art are rounded and smooth, complementing the calm and conciseness of the cabinet. The designer invited the craftsman to reinvent the quality of a humble trash can with gold craftsmanship.
The thick roots of the dragon scale spring feathers are wrapped around the bare, symbolizing the vitality of nature, and nature and man coexist in harmony.
The living room uses the Qingming River map as the background to create a magnificent and atmospheric mood, and the sideboard is placed with small garden bonsai, porcelain and metal skillfully combined, implying auspiciousness. The sofa forms a harmonious atmosphere of aggregation, and the placement of the sofa without leaning against the wall allows people to walk around at will and be comfortable. The Haipai Art Deco style, the use of striped elements, finds a balance between vintage and modern.
The flower carved wine altar from Shaoxing is full of festive atmosphere.
Copper water tanks are used to raise fish, taste tea and enjoy fish, poetic.
Eat in the room
The Book of Han says: "The king is based on the people, and the people take food as the heaven." "In addition to color, aroma, taste, meaning and shape, modern Chinese food has added the concept of health care, and Chinese food has become the inheritor of material and spiritual culture."
After the epidemic, it has become a rare blessing to take time out of the busy daily life to reunite with relatives and friends, share stories and food. "Gourmets don't have to be gluttons", the love of food in addition to the quality of ingredients, the mastery of the heat, the quality of space also affects the dining experience.
The dining space, with a round table as the soul of the space, gathers the breath and blessings. "Circle" is an important spiritual symbol in Chinese culture, which means reunion and happiness. The round table fits the eating habits of Chinese large families sitting around, and also contains the meaning of family reunion. The light brown dining chair brings a sense of peace. Under the garbo fruit tree, the steaming hot pot, happy and leisurely life, accompanied by three or five friends, tea and light wine, food is more flavorful.
The copper engravings of the Upper River of the Qingming Dynasty and the chandelier made of copper are magnificent and graceful, shining and dazzling. While enjoying the food, feel the charm of traditional culture, calm down, and awaken friends' enthusiasm for food and art.
