Heytea Huizhou Aeno Mall Store

Heytea Huizhou Aeno Mall Store is an innovative retail interior design project completed in 2019, encompassing 250 square meters of commercial space that masterfully blends modern aesthetics with classical elements. The space, designed by Uno Chan and Fei Xiao, represents a significant advancement in contemporary retail design through its sophisticated architectural language and unique material applications. The design concept revolves around the intersection of time and space, utilizing galvanized sheet metal as the primary material to create a dreamlike spatial experience. The store's distinctive features include classical arched lines that were traditionally abandoned by modernist movements, creating a fresh interpretation of architectural form and structure. The design employs sophisticated material contrasts, featuring large-scale galvanized sheet metal installations that establish a strong industrial aesthetic while maintaining elegance and simplicity. A notable design element includes the strategic placement of reed clusters along floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a deliberate visual tension between rigid industrial materials and soft organic forms. The space's innovative approach to traditional tea culture earned recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, acknowledging its excellence in spatial innovation and material application. The project demonstrates exceptional attention to detail in its execution, from the carefully considered material selections to the thoughtful integration of brand elements, resulting in a space that successfully elevates the contemporary tea-drinking experience through sophisticated design interventions.
