Tian Zi: A Club Design by Lichen Ding

Combining Tradition and Modernity in a Unique Club Experience

Inspired by the "five senses" of people - shape, sound, color, taste, and touch - Lichen Ding has created Tian Zi, a club design that offers an environment full of ecological atmosphere and rich Zen details. This design aims to provide a colorful and exotic space that brings tranquility to the heart.

Tian Zi, designed by Lichen Ding, stands out with its focus on the key word "Tian Zi," which combines the four seasons in flower culture, adding elegance and rhyme to its solemnity. This design sets itself apart from others with its unique properties and strengths.

Utilizing wood finishes, cloth, stainless steel, metal, stone, and glass, Tian Zi is a testament to the designer's realization technology. The project spans 68 meters in length and 21 meters in width, covering a total area of 1000 square meters. With a ceiling height of 3 meters, the club offers a spacious and inviting atmosphere.

Tags such as modern, diversified, open, natural, artistic, and relaxed perfectly capture the essence of Tian Zi. The design team, consisting of Li Chen Ding, Jie Liu, Li Hong Huang, and Shan Wen Chen, worked together to bring this vision to life.

Tian Zi is more than just a club; it is an immersive experience. By combining modern elements with traditional Chinese cultural characteristics, the design creates a unique charm and competitiveness. The project, located in Wuhan, China, began in March 2017 and was completed in December 2017.

The research underlying this design showcases the combination of classical Chinese style and fashion, resulting in a sturdy culture that is both fascinating and noble. In its low-key elegance, Tian Zi exudes extravagance and a pursuit of humanity.

The design process of Tian Zi was not without its challenges. The original structure had numerous columns, but through clever space design and layout, these drawbacks were resolved. Additionally, narrow aisles were utilized to create a spatial layout inspired by the traditional Chinese culture of "gossip," leaving a lasting impression on visitors.

Tian Zi sets a new benchmark for local clubs, offering more private spaces and intimate services. It creates an atmosphere that relaxes the body, heart, and spirit by engaging all five senses - hearing, taste, body, touch, and smell.

Photographer Ming Chen captured the essence of Tian Zi in stunning visuals, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of the design. The intellectual property and copyrights for this design belong to Li Chen Ding, 2018.

Tian Zi has been recognized for its excellence and innovation, receiving the Iron A' Design Award in 2019 in the category of Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design. This award is a testament to the well-designed, practical, and innovative nature of Tian Zi, meeting professional and industrial requirements while contributing to a better world.
