The Mixc Kunshan
The MIXc Kunshan is a children themed public area inside a shopping mall in Kunshan, China. The renovated space covers 4500 square meters on the third floor, where most shops serve children and families. The design draws on Kunqu Opera, a traditional art form born in Kunshan. Elements such as cloud collars, long sleeves, headdresses, stage makeup and musical instruments are translated into simple cartoon forms and applied to large installations, signboards and guardrails. Custom soft furnishings work as seats and as interactive points along the route.
The Mixc Kunshan Kids Area by Li Xiang has been highlighted as a creative representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. The Mixc Kunshan Kids Area received the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design accolade that celebrates excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
