comprised of three designers, each from different parts of the world, together they form pinwu, a studio based in yuhang, china. their recent project saw the creation of the design shop set within the ‘from yuhang rong design library‘. the large, bright and airy library is divided into four areas, each focusing on a specific aspect related to design. firstly, a section has been dedicated to traditional chinese materials, displaying samples that have been researched and collected.

visitors enter through via a garden filled with plants and decorated with five paper umbrellas. the design library itself, is a peaceful and segregated area featuring a diverse book collection that have been donated and recommended by creatives. a line of wooden shelves sit adjacent to a series of rectangular timber tables, each complemented with four colored chairs referencing a traditional chinese style.
the concept store was designed by locally-based pinwu
the design of the concept store by pinwu stems from yuhang’s history in traditional materials and crafts. the open-plan nature evokes a sense of transparency highlighted through the mixed types of display units– from mirrored display cubes to orange, plastic vitrines. a wide array of everyday products are presented in a simple environment, in which people can easy meander and view at ease. a large grid shelf has been used to display chairs, each one fitting perfectly into a proportioned section. lastly, the fourth area of the library is the 500sqm hall space, designed to be flexible, it can be organized to host exhibitions, events, speeches and product launches.
