Ningbo Zhongshuge bookstore by Li Xiang

Designer Li Xiang creates an extraordinary ambience in this bookstore. A glass curtain wall embedded in its thick stone facade, which expands into a coffee area and the entrance. Walking in through the massive glass door, a fine grid book wall emerges and transforms the room. A plethora of seating arrangements are planned here to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Another architectural phenomenon occurs on the other side of the glass curtain. To emulate colossal rocks that are long-washed by rushing water, walnut and black-hued bookshelves converge. For a spellbinding effect, the designer blends the texture of rocks into the surface of the bookshelves. The bookcases are unevenly organised and the ceiling cabinets are spread, giving space for optical exploration. The design instantaneously draws its readers into the massive landscape paintings exhibiting Ningbo’s cultural legacy. The magnificent design of the space makes it a must feature on your Instagram feed!

Boutique jewellery store by VAL Altier

This 10,000 sq ft property extends over four floors, each of which have their own distinct combinations of identity, layout and colour.

Its sophisticated ambience is established on grey Italian marble floors and suede fabric panelled walls. The furniture is a concoction of suede, velvet and leather, whereas a metallic touch is presented by light fixtures with brass accents. The counters have leather tops with intricate cross features and marble bases. This luxurious ambience paired with pastel shades put together an aesthetically pleasing image!

MAD by Urban Mistrii Studio

Completed with Kadappa stone and highlighted with LED lights, a short staircase lands in front of a French door fitted into an arch. Once the door opens, an expansive space fitted with wooden boards and completed with Duco in a tunnel opens up. It transports patrons from a concrete jungle and into a tropical safari designed using vibrant and pastel colours. The space’s duality is further highlighted by the motifs, fixtures and textures. It varies from the subdued colours of the planters and railings to the vibrant colours of the arched entrance; the flamingo and banana leaf-patterned wallpaper to the neoclassical era abstract portraits; and the neo-classical period abstract portraits. Dainty chandeliers have efficacious geometric spherical lamps, while the flooring is a blend of brown wooden finish and a monochrome geometrical pattern in stone. Its contrasting, quirky and vibrant ambience—crafted by Ritika Rakhiani—is an ideal pick-me-up on everyone’s feed!
