Less is More: A Masterpiece of Minimalist Design

Xin Shi Wang's Reception Hall: A Static Artwork Manifesting Time, Lights, Shades, and Nature

What sets this design apart is its unique properties. The textures, arrangements, and colors, as elements of interior design, are exhibited in the forms of artworks that denote, by means of displaying the shapes, the designer’s minds, affections, and implications. This 670 square meter space is a testament to Xin Shi Wang's ability to create a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

The design realization technology used in this project is equally impressive. The reflections, from the water ripple ceiling, on the black matt floor consist of every action and existence in this space. The landscape window, meanwhile, bodies the third dynamic mood changing over time and generates the natural light that creates more dramatic characters in the space.

In terms of design interaction, the artworks are the static exhibitions of the dynamic art. The arrangement of artwork, being observed and used by people, generates greater interaction value than does the artwork. The ceiling decorated with the water ripple metal plate artistically simulates the raining scene in the house, where leaves people the wonderful moment and memory of the heavy rain.

The project, which was completed in May 2018 in Shenzhen, China, was not without its challenges. Xin Shi Wang notes that the less is more means either a design attitude or skill, rather than a style. The real delightful design should be multi-dimensional and jointly complements that the inner amiable dialogues grow outwards reciprocally, some of which carry the intriguing conflictions.

Despite these challenges, Xin Shi Wang's design has been recognized for its excellence. The design was awarded Silver in A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2019. This prestigious award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation.
