resembles a continuous painting, leaving beautiful reflections through
the different windows. In the Chinese kitchen, the combination of
the island and bar counter meets the need for preparing breakfast
for the family in the early morning. In the dining room, a long table
awaits the evening, when family members return home. The slightly
ritualistic dinner time becomes a moment of love and energy amidst
the busyness of life.

The open kitchen and living room offers a variety of possibilities for
comfortable living. Whether sitting at the dining table or reclining
on the sofa with your eyes closed, you can fully enjoy the cosy and
relaxing atmosphere of home. The combination of different functions
also leaves more possibilities for the use of space.
A serene lake glistening with a mysterious emerald green reflects the
sky and illuminates a relaxing corner with a soothing ambiance. A
colourful floor lamp and vintage decorative paintings create a layered
retreat, whether it is for enjoying a laid-back atmosphere during
shared moments or for savouring an exquisite afternoon tea on a
leisurely afternoon. This space provides comfort to the soul, a true
embrace of home.
Fu Xia believes that people are not mere portraits depicted by big data
but rather vibrant individuals with their own unique personalities
and aspirations. As such, living spaces can also be bold and colourful,
showcasing a rich diversity and unconventional character. Through
the art of colour and texture, the residents' inner worlds can be
manifested.

The bold colour combinations and artful patterns embody a sense
of laziness and romance, with a humorous and carefree side. The
signature Roche Bobois mahjong table and the single sofa by the
window belong to the same series, exuding a relaxed and airy
ambiance that invites one to immerse oneself in it and lose track of
time.
