Origin Restaurant

Art street, Tai Kang Lu, Shanghai

Tried providing “emotional color” in the space. The Origin philosophy was transformed into physical manifestation using a combination of locally sourced natural elements such as raw wood, stone and tiles. The addition of indoor plants placed against these elements, merge to create a harmonious, relaxed atmosphere. Origin is a place to unwind and re-energize.

Mother Love

2007-01-21T03:40:00.000+08:00

::::The lovely store named Mother Love. Garchi is one of the brands in the shop. It is a childrens fashion store and designed in 1998. After the design and finished the construction, many childrens fashion came to our company and asked me to design for them. That made me quite proud. But I asked my company not to pass them to me. Because I had many projects in my hand at that time and almost forgot what the weekends were!

2 sides

2007-01-21T02:38:00.000+08:00

::every subject is formed by many sides or faces. Like a ball, could be a billion of sides on it. Up side and down side, left side and right side, front and behind..... etc. We can see a paper has 2 faces, 2 sides, obviously. Also for the emotion, love and hate. down and high. Or dark, bright. By your side, by my side. The foundations are just fine and perfect! So how about our mind and the soul? Must be founded by many sides that we can't express, explain by our way. When everything at least in 2 sides, how about my soul? Do I have another soul to complete the perfection?

Paulaner

2007-01-11T15:11:00.000+08:00

:: Worked with the Designer from Germany a while ago. Managed over the detail designed. After finished the inner design a year later, the manager of the restaurant asked me for designning the garden. See the big tree behind of the signage? We killed it! Because we wanted to make the ground flat and harder so we drew the concrete on the earth. Even we made some little holes for the tree's root for breathing, it just die! First of all, I refused to do the concrete thing. Anyhow, less knowledge and less experience, so we trusted the professional gardening company. Unfortunately, the gardening company was worse than us. After all which I could do was putting some dead woods, some plants,flowers around it for apologetic. And still, I have to say sorry to the tree everytime I pass the restaurant until now. The tree die about 150 years old.

Yann Tiersen with me

As I said I went to see him on Monday. I didn't buy the ticket in advance. There was only 4 tickets left at 480 rmb for a seat. When I decided to buy it, a french guy came to me and he wanted to sell me a ticket because his friend could not make it. Luckily I got the ticket from him. It was only 280 rmb and at the fourth row, great seat! But I couldn't take the video very well because I didn't want to bother the people who sat beside me.

::A cool home for the plant.

Center point

2006-12-07T00:26:00.000+08:00

::Who is in the center point of the souls? And people who realize and are aware about how/what they are, will say that they were there. In this subject, I will say, I definitely believe in the soul. It is the reality, it is showing me that I exist in my soul with my mind and my body. Then when everywhere is the center point, we can imagine that there is only one center point that exists. And it must be only one.

Connection

2006-12-06T23:55:00.000+08:00

::When a friend told me that no soul exists, only our mind is working with our body. I was confused and upset for awhile. I lost my balance. I am a soulful person. I've lived this way all my life. I believe in souls connecting. Then it just hit me or should I say,woke me up? Whatever, I still have to move on. Live with whatever I lost or I believed. The thing is the power behind me, Gone....After awhile, I have a new power. People say, we live by heart and mind. However, how many people could really follow and control it easily? Anyhow, I can now. I dont easily get upset anymore. I dont easily follow the heart anymore. Now I live with the mind but a beautiful one.

Lise's home

2006-12-04T23:55:00.000+08:00

::This is the elevator room of Lise's home. The whole floor belongs to her, so that I could design the elevator room. I covered all the walls, the exit door and the eletricity room by the curtain. Then it looks like there's windows around the room or that there are others spaces behind the curtain. It is still under construction and I will update the real pictures when it is finished.

Andrew's home

2006-12-01T02:21:00.000+08:00

::Andrew has a big living room for me to play around with. There's a bar, TV and book shelf around the round sofa area. You can pull one of the book shelives (the middle part is moveable) from the sofa to you so you don't need to stand up to get the books. It is a lazy world!

my decoration

2006-11-28T20:32:00.000+08:00

::It was another shooting for a bed sheet company. Can you imagine that this was done in a club? Decoration can completely change the atmosphere. Underneath the bed sheet wasn't a bed. It was the tables. I couldn't found the bed at this moment. Sometime,we need to hide the truth.

2006-11-23T00:47:00.000+08:00

::This picture is named "man made God". I painted it a year ago when I was thinking about why we(some of us) believe in God. Do we create God or do we find God? If God exists, the soul must exists. For me, the soul means out of the mind, full of dreams. So in this way, let God exist.
