Dongguan Zhongshuge Library Interior Design

Dongguan Zhongshuge Library

Dongguan Zhongshuge Library is a bookstore interior located within a science and technology industrial park. The space spans three floors, with the main reading area rising from the first to the third floor. Gear elements form the central design language and serve as both decoration and bookshelves. A corridor on the second floor links a children's reading area, a forum area and a cultural and creative space with a coffee area. The children's area is inspired by a neutron source facility. Wood is used across nearly all elements to soften the industrial character.

Embrasse Moi Sculpture Lamp

Embrasse Moi

Halfway between art and design, Embrasse Moi is the majestic light sculpture whose name recalls the play on words between the English brass and the lamp's curved, enveloping shape. The suspension lamp has been handcrafted: a large sculpture in burnished brass that recalls the DNA strand, the weave of which unfolds like a fil rouge throughout the space, giving every project an artistic accent that makes it unique.

Shenzhen Art Museum New Venue and Library North Branch

Shenzhen Art Museum

Shenzhen Art Museum is a cultural complex that joins an art museum and a library in a dense urban district. The two buildings are shaped like a pair of hands that enclose a shared central space. Public platforms on several levels sit between the two volumes and are sheltered by a large cantilevered roof built as a truss steel structure. A double layer curtain wall system shapes the indoor light and reduces the cooling load. Prefabricated construction was used. The complex offers a calm setting for exhibitions and cultural exchange.

Exeed Es Electric Vehicle

Exeed Es

Exeed Es is an electric vehicle designed for comfortable driving and riding. The exterior takes inspiration from the motion of wind, with a wide front face, a low chassis and a streamlined waistline. Such forms help achieve a drag coefficient of 0.205 and acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 3.7 seconds. The interior lines resemble flowing water. Ambience lights with 256 colours run along both sides and across the centre console, and can change with music. Materials include bio based polycarbonate, crystal panels and natural linen fibre seat backs.

Geely Galaxy E8 Electric Vehicle

Geely Galaxy E8

Geely Galaxy E8 is a pure electric flagship sedan built on the Sustainable Experience Architecture. The exterior recalls the form of a tiger ready to run, with headlights that suggest an intense gaze. A one piece luminous front face is formed by more than ten thousand holes of 0.2 mm, made with micro hole laser engraving technology, which gives an even light distribution. Twenty five aerodynamic improvements bring the drag coefficient to 0.199. The smart cockpit holds a 45 inch 8K screen and ripple patterns drawn from Chinese cultural landscapes.
