Listen to your heart - ONESWEAR Jewelry Store

Listen to your heart - ONESWEAR Jewelry store in CHONGQING IFS

Parallect Design as Architects

The Internet age is full of abundant information in every modern person's heart. Some people go with the flow, some people ask themselves. “Listen to your heart” is not just a slogan people just say it once. Instead of judging others, it is better to confront your own inner world and understand your own desires.

The installation, themed with a beating heart, takes the center of the store that focusing on lights and sightlines. It has a strong sense of presence that reminds people of the importance of examining themselves. The designer did not deliberately imitate the shape of a real heart, but made it artistic and applied minimal surface theory to the installation.

Caption

The whole installation is made by glass fiber 3D printing process and using aluminum foil paper to make wrinkled texture on the surface which not only expresses the imagery of heart fiber, but also creates the fashion metal texture. It reflects the aesthetic feeling of rationality and restraint while creating artistic appearance. The left and right atria are actually separated from each other but depend on each other in form. We leave a wide passage in the middle, so that people can walk into their inner world. The sound device inside let people hear the sound of heartbeat in a relatively closed and independent space means to talk and communicate with themselves.

The project site is 8.85 meters wide and 9.75 meters deep while height is 4 meters. The plane shape is regular.  In the design, the advantages of the original regular site are used to create a complete and unified free experience space. The wall with rammed earth paint is like a flowing ribbon surrounding the whole space. The wall that should be vertically intersected is chamfered. The soft and flowing shape of the curve itself gives people a soft and dynamic feeling. The stainless steel side of the wall reflects the exquisite sense of the jewelry shop and the pursuit of detail quality.

Caption

Functionally, we put reception table, showcase, show window, warehouse and other functional space around this characteristic wall. The wall at the entrance and the showcase are nested and linked together, as if a bright jewelry embedded in the mall. The warehouse is also hidden behind the wall. The single volume forms a graceful composition in proportion to the flowing rammed earth wall.
