The inspiration for Lin Mao Sen is deeply rooted in the traditional tea ceremony. This ancient practice has been meticulously woven into every aspect of the design, from the overall concept and vision to the structure and atmosphere. The result is a beautiful and delicate presentation that invites visitors to step back in time while remaining firmly grounded in the present.
What sets Lin Mao Sen apart is its unique spatial texture, reminiscent of an oriental residence. The elements of the store are arranged in a symmetrical order, creating a sense of balance and tranquility. The ceiling line subtly weaves a return to natural convergence, offering a sense of relaxation and release. This ecological perspective is reflected in the choice of materials, integrating old concepts with new to generate a sense of freedom and coexistence with the urban environment.
The store, measuring 12m by 19m, was realized through a careful blend of traditional and modern techniques. The design team, consisting of Chun Sung Yang and Yu Cheng Lo, worked tirelessly from March 2013 to April 2014 to bring this vision to life. The result is a space that is not only functional but also deeply meaningful.
Visitors to Lin Mao Sen are treated to a rich sensory experience. The store's design is characterized by peacock blue and mustard yellow saturation, fusion lines, and staggered surface relationships. The background subtly hints at oriental heritage, extending the continuity of space. This contemplation of environmental heritage blends old and new concepts and matches them to the pattern of ritualistic attempt.
In recognition of its exceptional design, Lin Mao Sen was awarded the Platinum A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2015. This prestigious accolade recognizes world-class, highly innovative designs that showcase unmatched professionalism, contribute to societal wellbeing, and define the aesthetics of an era. The Ahead Concept Design Team's creation indeed advances the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology, making the world a better place through its transcendent excellence.
