Chung Lin Lee's Pandora: A Mythical Interior Design Masterpiece

Unveiling the Exceptional Charm of Pandora, an Award-Winning Interior Design

Chung Lin Lee's Pandora is a unique interior design project that marries mythology with modern design. Inspired by the myth of Pandora, Lee has created a space that encapsulates the human yearning for beauty and intrigue. This award-winning design offers a fresh perspective on interior space and exhibition design.

Chung Lin Lee's Pandora is not just an interior design project; it is a cubic box of exceptional charm where living, enjoying, feasting, exhibiting, idling, and entertaining all come together seamlessly. The design's unique properties lie in its ability to hide function behind fine brushwork and find ingenuity in effortlessness. The heart rises and the thoughts move between the boundary of reality and dream, creating a space that is both tangible and fantastical.

The realization of Pandora's design is a testament to Lee's innovative use of technology and materials. The staircase, facing the light, rises in front of the ceiling window, creating a dramatic focal point. The sparkling, towering black stone wall stands like a silent giant, while the sky and earth are a turbid grey, scattered with wooden grains. Behind the seamless and continuous wooden structure is a little universe equipped with high-tech functions.

Spanning 95 square meters, Pandora is a space that invites exploration and interaction. As one ascends the steps, the partially high ceiling space echoes with soul, and the wall lights create a sense of depth. The display cases next to the kitchen, laid with black velvet, emit the warmth and flame of a rare treasure, which, with time, becomes ever more beautiful.

Completed in January 2018 in Taipei City, Taiwan, Pandora is the result of meticulous research and design. Lee sought to create a place full of twists and turns, virility, and the magnificence of the mortal world while satisfying the cement structure of humanistic senses. The challenge was to reveal the true brilliance of the handicraft inch by inch throughout the space, like a meticulously woven brocade, every thread carefully considered.

Pandora's design has been recognized for its excellence, winning the Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2018. This prestigious award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. Pandora is indeed a testament to Lee's strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, introducing positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
