After the Spring Festival in 2017, mingsheng redwood has steadily advanced the "whole house customization" program designed for high-end residences of customers in Haidian Island villa area, Haikou surrounding and Guangdong. The author saw the whole house customization plan designed by Hu Jingyang, chairman and creative director of Mingsheng Redwood, for multiple villas, and found that such a whole case involved three aspects: first of all, according to the specific situation of the customer, the overall home style of Chinese decoration should be designed and put into construction; second, according to the design style, what kind of furniture should be displayed in the later stage; third, on the basis of the completion of the first two items, the soft decoration of the furnishing accessories should be carried out, so as to play the role of finishing touches.
The reporter continued the topic of new Chinese and furniture innovation in the previous article, interviewed Hu Jingyang, vice president of the Hainan Classical Furniture Association and chairman of Mingsheng Mahogany, and asked him to combine the current decoration project and focus on the new Chinese decoration in the concept of "whole house customization".
Modern living room embedded in traditional feelings New Chinese decoration with classical compatible "fashion"
The new Chinese-style renovation plan in a high-end villa area on Haidian Island, which the Mingsheng team is working on, includes the following scenes: there is a corridor in the entrance, a wall of nearly four meters wide on the left, and a high-rise open space to the right. Mr. Hu designed and produced a large-scale wood carving for the left wall, accompanied by woodcuts. In the front, a six-piece traditional middle hall is placed, and in the corresponding right space, there is a ten-piece sofa with a new Chinese style, forming a modern family living space full of Chinese elements and fashionable styles. In the decoration of another large courtyard in Hainan, Hu Jingyang also properly introduced the new Chinese style that people currently favor in the decoration of the traditional classical Chinese eaves.
Hu Jingyang told the author: "At present, many people like Chinese classical things, but for the young post-80s and post-90s, it is still difficult to fully accept pure traditional things, and some new design ideas that keep pace with the times should also be infiltrated." He stressed that the new Chinese decoration style is to properly break the framework of classicism, simple and passionate, fresh and heavy. To let modern people see that the new Chinese decoration is not a pile of pure old elements, not deliberately antique, retro, but through the aesthetic vision of modern people, to examine the traditional charm of things, to classical compatible fashion, so that the factors of traditional culture in the blood of modern people to inherit. ”
"Because of the change of urban high-rise buildings to the traditional residential style, modern elements need to be introduced in Chinese decoration, even European and American elements, pure classical elements to modern architecture, some places need to be improved." Hu Jingyang explained according to his many years of decoration practice, "For example, the layout of the traditional courtyard, the main hall, the ear room, the two side compartments, etc. are not the same as the modern living room, if you blindly follow the old pattern and the old way to do it, modern people will feel dull and depressed when they go in, and when they do decoration, they have to make things that are suitable for today's aesthetic habits, and they cannot blindly imitate the antique." Only by conforming to the development of the times can we make a new Chinese environment that meets the practical and aesthetic needs of modern people. ”
In the decoration of the courtyard, Mr. Hu first introduced classic traditional elements, which made people feel the outstanding Chinese decoration style at once, such as gray wall dewa, cornice ridge, carved beam painting building, etc. Indoors, there are algae wells, flower covers, palace lights, screen partitions and so on. The interior is equipped with traditional calligraphy and paintings, ceramics, jade, wood carvings and stone carvings. The courtyard highlights the Jiangnan garden style, such as small bridge flowing water, mountain stone fountain, Maolin bamboo, pond bonsai and so on. "Returning to the countryside and integrating into nature is not only the embodiment of traditional feelings, but also reflects the modern people's pursuit of green and healthy life." Hu Jingyang explained, "As soon as people walk in, they will immediately have an association related to the history and culture of the nation, which naturally allows people to have a spiritual dialogue with the whole environment, and suddenly closes the distance between modern people and the space in front of them, and realizes the purpose of relaxing and integrating into a quiet life." ”
The successful realization of this new Chinese decoration stems from Hu Jingyang's profound understanding of traditional Chinese culture and national feelings.
"Chinese style" is not an empty wind The new Chinese decoration is becoming more and more abundant
Hu Jingyang said that when "Chinese style" first appeared, the connotation of the concept of decoration was relatively vague. In recent years, through the continuous practice and efforts of people of insight in the industry, this decoration style has become more and more accepted by people, and the connotation has become more and more substantial and rich.
In the interview, Hu Jingyang repeatedly stressed that the custom design of the whole house should reflect two pertinences: one is for the owner's cultural feelings and applicable requirements, and the other is to adapt to the characteristics of modern architecture and adapt to the talents. In his long-term practice, he found that modern people "tend to be simple and bright, simple and generous Ming-style furniture and interior decoration". The decoration practice activities of Mingsheng Mahogany coincide with the "Chinese style" pursued by modern people.
According to his professional experience and design and construction experience, Hu Jingyang summarized several key points of new Chinese decoration:
The new Chinese style adapts to the crowd: the personality is calm and calm, and the high-income and higher-income groups like traditional Chinese culture.
New Chinese decoration materials: The composition of Chinese style is first reflected in the creation of the atmosphere of interior decoration, the use of materials is mainly wood, combined with masonry, silk, linen fabric, wallpaper, glass, antique tiles, marble, etc.
The new Chinese style pays great attention to the layering of space: in the place where it is necessary to isolate the line of sight, the use of Chinese screens or window ledges, Chinese wooden doors, craft partitions, and simplified Chinese "Bogu frame", through this new separation method, separating each functional space, the unit house shows the beauty of the chinese home level. Based on some simple shapes, Chinese elements are added to make the overall space feel more abundant, large but not empty, thick and not heavy, with grades and styles without appearing dull and depressed.
New Chinese style decorative tones: red, yellow, blue, black as the main decorative colors, comprehensive display of the natural physical color texture. The interior mostly adopts symmetrical layout, and the color is also symmetrical and harmonious, the style is elegant, the shape is simple and beautiful, and the color is thick and mature.
New Chinese style furniture and soft accessories: classical furniture or modern furniture combined with classical furniture, classical furniture to Ming and Qing dynasty furniture as representatives, in the new Chinese furniture, accessories, mostly based on the simple lines of the new Chinese style, the pursuit of simple fashion. At the same time, pay attention to the details of the decoration of the residence to achieve the decorative effect of "changing the scenery step by step". Commonly used soft ornaments include green plants, fabrics, decorative paintings, and different styles of lamps. Ornaments can come from all over the world, but the main decoration of the space is still traditional Chinese ornaments such as Chinese paintings, palace lamps and purple sand pottery. The number of these Chinese ornaments is not large, but they play a role in finishing touches, can present a self-cultivation realm of life, and fully reflect the spirit of traditional Chinese aesthetics.
Mingsheng Mahogany is committed to "whole house customization" to lead the new Chinese decoration
Mingsheng Mahogany has been in the Chinese furniture, Chinese decoration from the beginning of the business to go hand in hand, so that in the market development and change has been in an invincible position, and through the "whole house customization" of traditional furniture and Chinese decoration design and production, leading the development of the industry, the business from Hainan local radiation to the mainland, affecting more and more areas.
The implementation of new Chinese decoration requires not only familiarity with traditional culture, but also an understanding of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign interior design knowledge and representative cases, so that the combination of the two complements each other in practice. Hu Jingyang sighed: "The study and pursuit of the living environment by the ancient Chinese people far exceeded our imagination. Whether from the Forbidden City, Gong Wangfu, or the living environment in the former residences of Hu Xueyan and Li Hongzhang, some of the interior design concepts of the old ancestors coincide with the most popular decoration fashions today. ”
Since the beginning of garden architecture in the Song Dynasty, people have paid attention to the role of artificial "reconstruction of nature" in the living and leisure environment. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, "Yi" was the core concept and value standard of interior design. The understanding of experts and peers is: "It is appropriate to divide into three categories, one is suitable for local conditions, the other is that it should be simple and not complicated, and the third is that it is natural and not suitable for carving." "This is in line with the traditional Chinese way of moderation. Hu Jingyang and his team take "yi" as the standard, closely combine the use of customers and aesthetic needs to do services, and receive good decoration results.
In modern life, the living room, study and bedroom are the most important living spaces. Hu Jingyang said: "In the custom decoration of Mingsheng Whole House, the living room as a family welcome space is usually a collision of traditional and modern living room styles, and the design should be combined with modern decorative techniques and furniture with classical Chinese decorative elements to present the spatial atmosphere of ancient and modern. The antique style of Chinese style and the simple and elegant natural connection that modern people like, so that the practicality of life and the pursuit of traditional culture have been satisfied at the same time, forming a combination of fashion and classical femininity. ”
"The study is an important part of almost all home design. Most aspects of home design are expressing the function and form of the space, but the setting of the study conveys the owner's heart, as well as identity and taste. In the design and construction, we will pay attention to combining the identity of the owner and the usual hobbies to inject more cultural elements. ”
"There is also a bedroom, the new Chinese bedroom in the color should not only uphold the traditional style of elegance and luxury, but also have a modern life atmosphere, showing the characteristics of fashion. For example, we have developed several new Chinese-style shelf beds, which more smoothly express the essence of traditional culture, and are suitable for modern people's pursuit of simplicity, with exquisite lamps and elegant decorative paintings, which can make the entire living room exude a modern atmosphere in the light and ancient charm. ”
Because of the dedication to the creation of new Chinese-style living space, the decoration of Mingsheng mahogany is often favored by the customers' neighbors and relatives and friends, and often comes to the door, so that Hu Jingyang imitates the case and "handles it this way". At the same time, some peers will also secretly imitate and cite their own decoration business. From a large number of examples, it is not difficult to see that in terms of whole house customization and new Chinese decoration, Mingsheng Mahogany has its own complete cultural concept and decoration construction concept, which invisibly leads the development and progress of new Chinese decoration.
