& Fellows Spa: A Sanctuary of Art and Relaxation

A Unique Blend of Nature and Artistry

The & Fellows Spa, designed by Yu Tsen King, draws inspiration from Claude Monet's Woman in the Garden to create a one-of-a-kind spa experience. Located in Taipei's eastern district, this spa center combines excellent spatial layout, color schemes, lighting, and artistic elements to provide a serene space for both the mind and body.

Like a hidden oasis in the midst of a concrete jungle, the entrance of & Fellows Spa is adorned with lush green vegetation. Large glass windows flood the space with natural light, creating a sense of openness. The expansive semicircular hall features walls adorned with ivy patterns, providing an inviting lounge area. Additionally, an arch separates a more secluded space, illuminated by recessed lights and wall lamps, offering a private retreat for individuals seeking solitude.

The use of projected light creates a soft glow, transforming the specially designed plants into a vibrant forest. Visitors feel as if they are stepping into a secret realm, harmoniously coexisting with nature. This immersive experience offers a feast for the eyes and a soothing balm for the mind.

The VIP Room, inspired by the majestic peacock, is a private and vibrant space that can be enjoyed alone or with close friends. The hallway is adorned with peacock feathers, while metallic textures, bright blue and red walls, and intermittent bird-cage chandeliers exude elegance and luxury. The addition of an obscure halo adds an air of mystery to the space. Another room, themed after a star-filled galaxy, features handmade hanging colored-glaze lights that resemble the brilliance of the Milky Way.

The selection of furniture from Moroso, an esteemed Italian Haute Couture manufacturer, adds a touch of sophistication to the design. With simple lines, bold colors, and curled rattan recliners and side tables, the furniture evokes a sense of romance and vibrancy, akin to blossoming flowers.

The challenge of showcasing the precious art collection was overcome by strategically placed pilot lamps in the hallway. Royal blue drapes on the ceiling add softness to the space, complementing the blue checkered carpet on the floor. The combination of intricate flower and vine patterns on the ceilings and walls, along with carefully arranged colorful tones, creates a distinct and unique ambiance in each area of the spa.

The & Fellows Spa, a recipient of the Bronze A' Design Award in 2020, stands as a testament to the fusion of art, science, design, and technology. It exemplifies outstanding creativity and resourcefulness, contributing to a better quality of life and making the world a more beautiful place.
