The setting and the detail.
The original project reference places Yuangu Tea House on Shanghai’s Wuyuan Road and describes an encounter between hutong influences and an older Western-style house.
The photographs show a relationship between the lantern, the timber structure and the wider interior. The close-up is particularly useful for understanding the shade’s translucency and visible supporting frame; the wider views place that detail in context.
Ideas to bring into your brief
- Judge a translucent shade both lit and unlit.
- Review the frame and suspension as visible parts of the design.
- Coordinate the fixture with timber, daylight and the room’s principal views.
