Planet 0238
Planet 0238 is an exhibition center with an interstellar exploration theme, covering 1800 square meters in Chongqing, China. The design combines display with retail and includes a reception area, a negotiation area and a coffee bar. A long winding light strip on the ceiling marks the route through the space. The floor recalls the gray surface of a distant planet. Black marble tabletops contrast with off-white sofas, and curved forms soften the boundaries of the rooms. Mirror finishes reflect light to suggest a wide starry sky.
