These settings can be personalized according to the needs of the user. The washbasin is made of fire clay ceramic by casting, and the smooth surface has an antibacterial nano coating. The modular layout allows one washbasin with a shelf or two washbasins side by side.

The Beijing Parade

The Beijing Parade is a restaurant interior located in Beijing. The space of 1800 square meters follows a Belt and Road theme and recalls the Tang Dynasty in an abstract way. The plan is formed mainly by private rooms and corridors, without a lobby. The antehall uses axe-split stone, an old copper logo, red shelves, an original stone tea table, red wine racks and large floral decorations. Rock cliff installations carry dry trunks and branches with moss and sparse flowers. A pagoda lamp marks the end of the corridor.
