zheng xie’s ‘misty bamboo on a distant mountain’ served as the basis for keng yu design office’s exhibition space for the sixth edition of creative expo taiwan. recreating the artistic piece through architecture, the design unrolls like a long scroll, inviting viewers into a serene ambience that captures the essence of taiwan.

the exhibition space was created for the taiwan section at annual event creative expo

a variety of homeware/ lifestyle products are presented, most located in a series of small areas that progress down either side of the space. the central corridor is reserved for the presentation of the main artistic concept. here, bamboo plants, polypropylene hollow sheets — used to create a visual effect similar to mist — and a plethora of teas are combined into the cultural essence of taiwan. 

bamboo and tea are presented as symbols of the cultural essence of taiwanese lifestyle design 

bamboo plants and polypropylene sheets initiate a dialogue between natural and industrial

lifestyle design products are arranged into small, domestic settings

the event intends to promote taiwanese cultural creative industries

defused reflections through hollow sheets form interesting visuals 

the concept recreates the traditional ink painting ‘misty bamboo on a distant mountain’ by zheng xie

an analogy of the elements of mist, wind movement and the brushstrokes of painting

the strong identity creates better exposure and advantage for companies in the international market
