When it comes to the art of design, nature often serves as the most profound source of inspiration. This is evident in the Blossom of Life, a commercial space designed by Mohen Chao Design Assoc. The design draws its inspiration from the exquisite and ingenious structures found in nature, aiming to convey the stubborn life information inherent in the growth of all things. The design's original intention is to allow individuals to perceive the beauty of all things from various perspectives, breaking free from the constraints of a singular viewpoint.
What sets the Blossom of Life apart from other commercial spaces is its unique visual system that showcases the appearance structure from a natural perspective. The design uses marble, leather material, metal, and wood to create a space that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The design spans a total area of 1700 square meters and stands at a height of 8 meters, offering ample space for various purposes.
The design process involved absorbing ideas from natural leaves, petals, and trunks and shaping them with elements of modern materials. The aim was to create a project that resembled life nurtured by nature, akin to a mother nurturing her child. The main challenge faced during the design process was refining the space and linking it in the beginning. Configuring the shape, material, and lighting effect of each space required repeated adjustments and tests, which were time-consuming but ultimately rewarding.
The Blossom of Life was launched in July 2018 in Nanchang, China, and completed in November of the same year. The project has been well-received, with people using the space for various purposes and it becoming the center of the community. The design has been recognized for its excellence and innovation, winning the Platinum A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2019. This prestigious award recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs that contribute to societal wellbeing and advance the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology.
As a testament to the design's success, the Blossom of Life has become a defining aesthetic of its era, making the world a better place through its transcendent excellence. The design is a testament to the genius and professionalism of Mohen Chao Design Assoc., who have successfully created a commercial space that is not only functional but also a work of art.
