The inspiration for "Fog Floated" stems from the evolution of feminine maturity into a modern minimalist aesthetic. The design is characterized by a deep, foggy, purplish color scheme that not only adapts to the minimal masculine with its cold tone but also exudes warmth and charm. This unique color palette, combined with various textured materials, creates an airy and calm space that is both inviting and intriguing.
One of the standout features of this design is the use of a reflective glass partition. This element not only allows lens flares to be easily noticed but also magnifies the visual dimension due to its see-through properties. The plain ceiling and flooring further highlight the levels of the grey scheme and the diversity of textured feels, adding depth and complexity to the design.
The design's realization technology is another testament to WENG's innovative approach. The reflective glass partition, in combination with the ink-wash wallpaper and polished stainless decor, creates a sharp contrast that echoes the glass gloss. When sunlight shines through the dark shutters, a sense of pure serenity pervades the abode, culminating in tranquility.
Despite the design's apparent simplicity, it was not without its challenges. One of the main hurdles was managing the combinations among black, white, and neutral grey, and giving specific touches that build up a composed atmosphere. However, WENG overcame this challenge with aplomb, creating a space that is both composed and profound.
The "Fog Floated" project is more than just a residential interior design; it's a testament to the power of innovative design and the beauty of minimalism. With its unique blend of modern minimalism and oriental charm, it's no surprise that this design was awarded the Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2019. It's a testament to WENG's exceptional skill and innovative approach, and a shining example of what can be achieved when design boundaries are pushed.
