Interview with David Chang Design Associates Intl at Monday 1st of May 2017

FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
DC: Ornamental friezes and open fretwork patterns derive their origins from the Ming Dynasty. Pagoda inspired plinth tops re-enforce this heritage. Contemporary versions of the classic Ming chair are imitated in the bar stools. The interiors’ colour palette has been borrowed from the traditional ceramics displayed throughout the Presentation Centre; Emperor blue, oyster pearl, onyx black and soft stone gray. Au courant artwork, occupying prominent placements, all reference the Chinese Ming Dynasty and Lingnan’s geological ridges in playful ways.

FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
DC: Artful contemporary duplications of iconic Ming Dynasty furniture, motifs and patterns are selectively distributed throughout the project, helping to establish “sense of place” geographically and historically.

Palatial columns clad in marble stretch to a gold gilded coffered ceiling, gently illuminated, that frames a dramatic chandelier of intertwined crystal circles representing the Chinese qi symbol signifying “perfect emptiness” of an enlightened sage and also represents the closed circle of the Chinese family.
