The Spatial Dialogue of the Classic Era

Interior Design

The Spatial Dialogue of the Classic Era is a commercial interior design project by Shao-Chiang Wu and Jui-Yang Kao that aims to create a unique space for displaying architectural materials and meeting with potential customers. The design team's goal was not only to solve the spatial issues of different functions but also to create a special corner that demonstrates the classic moment.

The design of this space, located in New Taipei City, Taiwan, is characterized by vertical and horizontal frames that compose the bookshelves, creating an interesting tempo in the space. The dark green frames and spotlight tracks on the top of the path bring out a visually captivating effect of different layers of lines.

The unique properties of this design lie in its ability to revamp the spatial atmosphere and inspire the owner's imagination. The designers have successfully created a space that evokes wonderful dialogue feelings, allowing potential customers to envision their own creations.

The realization of this design involved the use of end wooden walls, which serve as both the toilet door and a place to demonstrate different arts. Classic images of famous celebrities and items from the 1960-1970 era, such as Bruce Lee, Marilyn Monroe, and a Vespa motorcycle, are posted on these walls, adding to the overall nostalgic ambiance.

The challenges faced during the design process included generating the stretching visual effect of the dark green frames and establishing the company's main spatial image. However, the design team overcame these challenges and successfully created a space that reflects their determination to pursue classic design with childlike and persistent spirits.

The 35-square-meter space features a basic spatial tone composed of a long gray wall and wooden floor. The manual imprints on the gray wall reflect the craftsman's spirit, while the lighting on this wall creates a special light effect of pearl-like halo, allowing for a variety of spatial expressions.

The Spatial Dialogue of the Classic Era was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2018 in the category of Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design. This prestigious award recognizes well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The design is respected for integrating industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings, and contributing to a better world.
