Inside the space, raw stone, original wood without processing and terrazzo flooring abandon a decorative or foppish appearance, and pursue an authentic and pure beauty. The old tree outside the window interacts with a huge original rock inside the shop through a narrow glass curtain wall, bringing nature back to city and immersing clients in it. All of the design solutions follow Marier brand’s idea of natural health, from the earth-like color, natural texture to unadorned furnishings, natural ornament. Through a minimalistic visual language and design techniques, BloomDesign presents multi-level artistic conception of “seeing a mountain in a rock and a forest in a tree” that is typical in Oriental context.
