Reading Tea is a teahouse interior covering 380 square meters in Chongqing. The design joins traditional Chinese materials with a modern spatial approach. Natural logs are divided into wood pieces 100 millimeters wide and 5 millimeters thick.

Natural stone is polished into an uneven surface that suits the wood. Gray tones and rustic floor tiles complete the calm setting.
