Entry Description

The designers of this case drew inspiration from the Chinese Zen culture, integrating the Western understatement from the Eastern restraint and subtlety to create an unconventional spatial context, provoking a dramatic collision between inside and outside. The overall space is not assisted by the open color, only the curved embellishment, which hits the cold and hard wall, and the large waving corrugated wall, which gives the heavy wall a touch of low-key texture. The gray shrouded base, with the stone roughly embedded in the wall, stone hit the ground under the refraction of light and shadow.
