About The Entry

The design concept blends Oriental culture with modern style to create a diversified tea space that seamlessly integrates traditional elements with contemporary design. Central to the concept is the "twin" theme, which is reflected in both the space and product offerings, such as tea drinks and ice cream. This duality creates an immersive journey, allowing consumers to experience both flavor and spiritual tranquility.

The space prioritizes "transparency" and "symbiosis," breaking away from the enclosure typical of traditional tea spaces. Large floor-to-ceiling windows provide ample natural light, connecting the indoor environment with the outside world and blurring the boundaries between "real scenes" and the "illusory artistic conception" of the city beyond. The use of tea soup-inspired colors enhances the space, with each hue symbolizing nature’s mysteries and the philosophy of life.

The front desk area merges traditional materials with modern design, using warm brown marble for the countertop and service interface, bringing natural warmth to the space. The product display cabinet exemplifies the twin integration of tradition and modernity, with dark brown tones and golden highlights showcasing the brand’s commitment to both tea culture and modern consumer needs.

The lounge area, the core of the "tea realm," combines comfort and fashion through a harmonious blend of dark brown wood and warm brown leather furniture. The rounded, minimalist furniture design complements the tranquil atmosphere, offering users both comfort and serenity.

The space also embraces green sustainability by utilizing natural and recyclable materials like marble and solid wood, and by maximizing natural lighting while employing energy-saving LEDs. This commitment to eco-friendly design further underscores the balance of ecological consciousness and spatial aesthetics, creating a space that fosters both cultural immersion and environmental harmony.
