In an era where commercial exhibition spaces are increasingly homogenized, TSPACE Design redefines brand narrative logic through innovative curatorial thinking, breaking through the physical limitations of traditional displays and injecting differentiated experiential value into commercial spaces. By combining environmental storytelling with emotional resonance in its design strategy, the brand essence is transformed into a perceptible spatial language. For this design at the Shanghai exhibition, the designers used a showroom created for the cactus lighting brand as a practical platform. Within the limited 36 square meters, they constructed an immersive theater that links the imagery of the desert with modern industrial aesthetics, exploring the potential of commercial spaces transitioning from functional displays to experiential innovation.

Upon entering PARKSIDE@NINA, guests are immediately enveloped by an atmosphere that feels both adventurous and serene. The restaurant’s striking vaulted ceiling draws the eye upward, reminiscent of an enchanting cave. This design, inspired by the natural beauty of stalactite formations, sets the stage for a unique dining experience that seamlessly blends nature with culinary artistry.

When it comes to creating a beautiful and neat space arrangement, an interior designer is the right person for the job. Their role is more than just that of a decorator.

What kind of architects and architecture do we need?
