In-Store Art Program

Lululemon

We developed a series of in-store art installations for Lululemon retail outlets throughout China (Xi’an, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Shanghai, Beijing, etc.)

The installations integrate local culture and storytelling with the spirit of the Lululemon brand (fun, dynamic, pioneering, active lifestyle) to present a vibrant and creative consumer experience.


我们为服装品牌Lululemon在西安、重庆、厦门、上海等新开的指定门店创作了一系列墙面装饰艺术作品。

该系列在基于品牌一直强调的乐趣、动感等特性的同时,将当地的城市文化元素巧妙的融入在这几幅作品中。


重庆 CHONGQING / Spicy Happiness

Spicy Happiness

It’s no secret that Chongqing‘ers love spicy food and hotpot. With that in mind, this artwork centers on these two quintessential elements of the Chongqing lifestyle.

Modeled after traditional Chongqing-style hotpot, the artwork’s circular composition is divided into nine frames. In each standalone scene, a cast of humanoid hot peppers is shown going about their day.

Whether it be exercising, bonding with friends over hotpot, enjoying street food, playing mahjong, or riding on subway lines that cut through high rises, these familiar Chongqing activities are brought to life through together with the brand in our playful illustrations.


《无辣不欢》

众做周知,重庆人嗜辣,视火锅如命。

从“辣”出发,将整幅作品的外型结构以传统九宫格火锅为基底,将lululemon品牌形象拟作“辣椒人”,利用轻松幽默的插画形式展现“lululemon辣椒人”的重庆一日体验。

巧妙的将运动/吃火锅/吃串串//打麻将集结在一张完整的画面中,而重庆的地标建筑也跃然穿插于每块故事场景。


厦门 XIAMEN / City Treasures

City Treasures

The artwork for Xiamen features Lululemon’s brand mantra of “Sweat, Grow, Bond” was reinterpreted in a type treatment designed in the likeness of a treasure map.

Housed inside the type design are illustrations depicting some of the city’s most distinctive characteristics, such as its beautiful coasts and the active, yet un-rushed, lifestyle of the locals.

The map leads consumers on a treasure hunt where they’ll discover iconic Xiamen cityscapes and Lululemon-themed easter eggs throughout.


《城市寻宝》

作品结合品牌宣言中的”Sweat, Grow, Bond”三个关键词,精心设计了一副悠闲厦门的城市寻“宝”图。

利用字母空间进行画面填充,展现出厦门靠水,有岛的地域特征以及丰富的休闲运动。

观者可跟随寻“宝”的路径,探索每个关键词中所藏匿的厦门标志建筑特色与品牌logo“彩蛋”。


西安 XI’AN / Yoga Pagoda

Yoga Pagoda

Centered on Xi’an as an ancient capital and renowned foodie destination, this three-panel installation uses layered 3D elements and fabrics from Lululemon product to show the city from a fresh perspective.

Each design uses colors and materials from the brand’s apparel and yoga mats to evoke the historic charm of old Xi’an, featuring sites like the Wild Goose Pagoda and the Terracotta Army.

Different yoga poses give the terracotta warrior a sporty look, perfectly combining the traditional and the modern.


《瑜伽兵马俑》

以西安特色美食及古都形象为创意核心,通过3幅面料画的设计,将品牌面料特性以另一种方式表达我们眼中的西安。

每幅画由lululemon服装及瑜伽垫面料进行颜色搭配及制作,通过作品使观者畅游于西安古都历史魅力之处,从大雁塔到兵马俑。

多变的瑜伽动作让兵马俑的形象更为灵动,全然体现了现代与传统的完美结合。


深圳 SHENZHEN / Hi-Tech Urban Explorations

Hi-Tech Urban Explorations

Shenzhen is the heart of China’s electronics industry, as such, for this design we created a series of “Screenhead” characters to encourage people to put down their devices, head outdoors, and work up a sweat.

In a city panorama surrounded by green mountains, this installation shows the Screenhead characters in Lululemon apparel engaged in healthy lifestyle activities like yoga, biking, jogging, and skipping rope.

Brand elements and everyday details from Shenzhen are interspersed throughout, showing the spirit of Lululemon and the fun of getting out into the city.


《悠游数码城》

深圳是中国的数码产品生产中心,由此衍射出“手机人”的概念,以提醒大家应该适时的放下手中的数码产品出来多多做一些出汗运动。

作品以绿植环绕中深圳城市景观为基底。“手机人”与Lululemon独特的健康运动元素结合构成一幅栩栩如生的景象,运动内容如:瑜伽,自行车,跑步,跳绳等。

在细枝末节处穿插品牌元素及深圳日常生活元素,展现Lululemon的品牌精神和与城市融合的趣味性。


上海七宝 SHANGHAI QIBAO / Multiverse

Multiverse

Inspired by the tagline “Ignite Possibility,” we’ve created an art installation that uses layered elements, staggered placement, and masked alphabet letters in an imaginative type design.

Within each letter, viewers are given a glimpse into the whimsical universe of Lululemon, a world populated by sports lovers and active lifestyle enthusiasts.

The bottom and middle row depict familiar modern Shanghai landmarks and surrounding areas while the top row features the nearby ancient town of Qibao (where the store is located). With this installation, we pay homage to the active lifestyle long celebrated by Lululemon and Shanghai residents alike.


《次元》

利用lululemon英文品牌宣言中的”Ignite Possibility”为设计圆心。

通过不规则排列及表层镂空再叠加多层的艺术手法,让整个艺术作品更富有想象力,打造出一个lululemon的次元空间。

从一层字体延伸至二层的lululemon运动小人再进入第三层的上海城市与七宝古镇,层层推进,将观者带入一个生动且极具趣味的世界,同时也体现出lululemon所强调的生活方式和运动精神。


北京 BEIJING / Winter Games

Winter Games

Inspired by the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, this imaginative design spotlights iconic architecture in the Chinese capital and a cast of winter athletes. The installation communicates the competitive spirit that sports enthusiasts can expect to see out of the ancient city in the forthcoming Games. Further, the in-store execution of the artwork is layered with several elements mechanically animated bringing alive the athletes throughout the composition.

Fun details are sprinkled throughout the composition: a snowboarder can be seen catching air over the Great Wall, a free climber is scaling the Temple of Heaven, while a skier speeds down the snow-covered roof of a traditional siheyuan. In the upper section, the moat surrounding the Forbidden City is shown frozen over, turning into an ice rink for figure skaters and hockey players. Beijing’s National Aquatic Center—the venue set to host the Winter Games—also appears in frame, teasing the upcoming competitions. All these elements come together to celebrate Beijing as the first-ever city to host both the Summer and Winter Games.


《冬运会》

受2020北京冬季奥运会的启发,该作品中将极具北京特色及代表性的建筑及景观与冬季运动相融合,用插画语言传达了将各项冬季运动以及夸张且富冲击力的画风表现在整个装置作品中,运动和建筑巧妙交织在一起,体现出北京皇城根下的冬季奥运竞技精神。此外,店铺橱窗所陈列的作品中的一些运动元素通过机械运动的形式进行了更有互动性的展示,让运动员在整个作品中更充满活力。

细细品味作品,你会发现画面中有滑雪的人越过在长城、攀岩者出现在天坛、四合院的屋顶也成为滑雪斜坡、角楼前的湖水结冰后成为冰上运动爱好者的乐园。同时,画面中的水立方也体现出现代代奥林匹克精神,预示着北京即将成为第一个举办过夏季奥运会和冬季奥运会的城市。


北京 BEIJING / Summer Games

Summer Games

Inspired by the Summer Olympics, this imaginative illustration spotlights iconic architecture in the Chinese capital and a cast of summer athletes. The installation communicates the competitive spirit that sports enthusiasts can expect to see out of the ancient city in the forthcoming Games. Further, the in-store execution of the artwork is layered with several elements mechanically animated bringing alive the athletes throughout the composition.

Fun details are sprinkled throughout the composition: a BMXer can be seen catching air over the Great Wall, a free climber is scaling the Temple of Heaven, while a hurdler jumps over the roof of a traditional siheyuan. In the upper section, the lake surrounding the Forbidden City, its turned into a water wonderland for synchronized swimmers and wind-surfers. Beijing’s National Aquatic Center—the venue set to host the Winter Games—also appears in frame, teasing the upcoming competitions. All these elements come together to celebrate Beijing as the first-ever city to host both the Summer and Winter Games.


《夏运会》

创意来源于夏运会,作品中将极具北京特色及代表性的建筑及景观与夏季运动相融合,用插画语言将各项夏季运动以夸张且富冲击力的画风表现在整个装置作品中,运动和建筑巧妙交织在一起,体现出北京皇城根下的夏季奥运精神。

细细品味作品,你会发现画面中有自行车选手越过长城、攀岩者出现在天坛、四合院的屋顶也成为跨栏辅助、角楼前的湖水成为水上运动爱好者的乐园。同时,画面中的水立方也体现出现代代奥林匹克精神,预示着北京即将成为第一个举办过夏季奥运会和冬季奥运会的城市。


上海 SHANGHAI / Physical Education

Physical Education

Located in Shanghai’s Wujiaochang, the Hopson One lululemon store is situated within a buzzing hub of college life. 

This artwork captures the youthful energy of the neighborhood, showcases the area’s distinctive architecture, and celebrates the athletic lifestyles led by local students.


《活力大学》

合生汇坐落于上海五角场,以大学社团生活与五角场特色建筑融合为灵感创作这幅画作。

充满活力的大学生展现年轻的生活方式。将观者带入一个生动且活力的大学时代,同时也体现出lululemon所强调的生活方式和运动精神。


上海 SHANGHAI / Shanghai Deco Slang

Shanghai Deco Slang

Inspired by the lululemon brand spirit and the tagline “be all in,” this mural blends iconic elements of Shanghai art deco architecture with key phrases from the brand manifesto. These phrases, rewritten with linguistic flourishes based on colloquial Shanghainese, are brought together in a cohesive geometric design.


《沪上腔调》

以品牌精神与be all in.墙面为灵感,用老上海风情建筑局部及老物件等元素中穿插manifesto中的单句,并以沪语的形式呈现manifesto的含义,将这些分散的元素用平面设计的方式重组,打造出趣味十足的艺术作品。


上海 SHANGHAI / Rhythm of the City

Rhythm of the City

Inspired by the lululemon brand spirit and the tagline “be all in,” this mural blends iconic elements of Shanghai art deco architecture with key phrases from the brand manifesto. These phrases, rewritten with linguistic flourishes based on colloquial Shanghainese, are brought together in a cohesive geometric design.


《律动城市》

上海是一座拥有自由灵魂的城市,是一个停不下来的地方,快与慢不断交替。通过流动的画面元素和流畅的画面节奏,带出运动瑜伽和城市之间的动态交融,展现城市动感和lululemon的动态生活方式。我们将人的运动轨迹可视化,利用产品面料包覆部分元素,平面和3D元素结合,组合成有节奏韵律的视觉画面。


北京蓝色港湾 BEIJING SOLANA

Beijing is a city of perpetual motion, a place where people are free to be themselves. When people first visit, they’re often in awe at its lively bustle. For those who choose to stay, they’ll quickly find themselves moving in rhythm with the city’s quickness. With considerations to these aspects of the Chinese capital, and lululemon’s focus on body and spirit, along with the brand’s commitment to an athletic lifestyle, the artwork for the lululemon store in Beijing’s SOLANA shopping mall illustrates the ways that Beijing culture and lululemon’s brand ethos intersect. Through a seemingly fluid, flowing composition, the dynamic pace of Beijing and the movement-driven mindset of the lululemon brand are brought to life.


自在动感,自在北京。人们来到北京,被首都的氛围所鼓舞和影响,不可自拔的融入到这座城市自有的节奏之中。lululemon注重身心的体验,利用科技创造身体的自由。让穿着的人可以抛开顾虑,安心自在地决定自己的感受。
北京蓝色港湾店铺内的艺术装置,希望可以通过流动的画面元素和流畅的画面节奏,带出lululemon和北京之间的动态交融,展现北京的城市动感和lululemon的动态生活方式。让北京这座城市也能随着lululemon一起动起来。

White Collar Yoga

Beijing doesn’t take breaks. Day or night, the city is forever moving. The grind doesn’t stop for Beijingers, and through this artwork, we look to visualize the urban hustle. Office workers are depicted in a variety of situations—grabbing coffee, racing off to the metro station, typing away in front of their computer, or responding to work messages. Through it all, they’ve managed to keep their love of yoga alive. In this artwork, exaggerated yoga movements and colorful characters give shape to Beijing’s bustle.


《白领瑜伽》

北京是一个永动机,一个不分白天黑夜在运转的庞大机器,日夜灯火通明,每一个北京人都努力维系着自己与这座城市的关系。这幅画通过一系列的瑜伽体式和北京白领坐在办公桌前、买咖啡、追地铁、刷手机等等的日常生活串联起来。通过人物和动作的串联叠加,带出北京生活的动感。

Beijing Attitude

No matter how busy it gets, Beijingers always seem able to maintain a positive mindset. By sticking with their sporty interests, they’re able to shed the anxiety and stress that comes with the urban hustle. Through this art work, we visualize the importance of unwinding from work through an active lifestyle—whether it be running, yoga, or even a game of ping pong.


《北京态度》

即使忙到⻜起来,也还是能保持乐观积极的状态,不骄不躁享受这⻜一般的感觉,这才是都市人向往的终极人生态度。这幅作品通过将现代人追逐时间的状态和瑜伽运动体式结合,鼓励即使在奔忙中也要自在放松的心态。

Weekend in Beijing

What do weekends look like in the older parts of Beijing? Whether it be roller blading in Houhai Park, strolling through Sanlitun, or cycling through the hutongs, Beijingers have their own ways of relaxing. This art piece, depicting different sports and Bejing landmarks, is inspired by young Beijing inhabitants who look to an active lifestyle as a means of relaxation, an ethos similarly promoted by lululemon.


《京城周末》

老北京怎么过周末的? 后北海公园滑冰,胡同遛弯,三里屯逛街,骑车乐逛胡同,北京人也有自己的放松方式。以城市生活为灵感,通过画面展现北京城市中不同的运动特色及地标,描绘当代年轻人在北京这座大城市里不断寻找自己的舒适感与轻松一刻,同时体现了lululemon所倡导的健康生活方式。


成都太古里 CHENGDU TAIKOOLI

At the mere mention of Chengdu, many things come to mind: giant pandas, tea houses, and the regional cuisine are obvious, but these barely scratch the surface of the city’s deep cultural heritage. Tapping into the visual motifs that people associate with the city, we unveiled a mural that captures the laidback lifestyle of Chengdu. From local folk culture and traditional dishes to the city’s architecture and youthful lifestyle, the characteristics that define the city share many parallels with lululemon’s brand ethos.


成都两个字就意味着大熊猫,悠闲喝茶,各种美食,蜀地文化底蕴深厚,以大众对成都的印象为这次墙面创意的主概念命名为——闲都成都,把成都当地的民俗文化,传统美食与现代化的建筑,年轻人的生活方式做结合,用有趣味性的方式呈现,体现出成都这座城市的专属特征,这与lululemon想体现的生活态度不谋而合。

Mahjong Capital

Riffing on Chengdu’s love of Mahjong, tiles from the beloved game are used to spell out “Chengdu” in Chinese. Atop the tiles, rather than the expected designs, lululemon logos and characters assuming yoga positions appear instead. Alongside them, recognizable landmarks from across Chengdu, the city’s folk art traditions, and its renowned cuisine are also imprinted for an additional playful touch.


《麻将之都》

从成都人以麻将为乐的点出发,将麻将牌作为主元素,并将麻将上的图案巧妙的用lululemon的logo和专属运动小人拼构起来,融入成都一些标志性的建筑地标,民间艺术和当地美食,以此打造出一副趣味性十足的麻将“成都”拼贴字。

Yogo Stronghold

For this artwork, mahjong tiles designed with disparate references to Chengdu culture and the lululemon brand are laid face up. On them, the city’s landmarks appear along with characters striking a range of yoga poses. Together, these designs reflect lululemon’s brand spirit and how its attitude towards living an athletic life can exist alongside Chengdu’s cultural roots.


《Yogo围城》

具有成都与lululemon特色的麻将错落有致地在麻将桌上,展现了成都悠闲与慢的文化及生活方式。该设计同样利用了lululemon的logo和专属运动小人构成lululemon专属麻将牌,更为生动的展现出品牌的生活及运动理念。

Laidback Chengdu

Pandas, bamboo grove, Sanxingdui, tea houses, chili-oil dumpings, and other aspects of Chengdu culture all make cameos on the colorful composition. The landmark building that houses this particular lululemon store even makes an appearance. The city’s inhabitants strike yoga poses against this backdrop, demonstrating the sporty but laidback lifestyle of the city and the lululemon brand.


《闲适蜀都》

结合成都的竹子,熊猫,三星堆,喝茶,钟水饺等具有代表性的地方元素,将lululemon所在店铺的地标建筑加入其中,并用各种姿态的瑜伽人物营造出成都悠闲轻松的生活氛围, 展现运动与生活处处相容的和谐理念。


上海办公室 SHANGHAI OFFICE / The Sweatlife

The Sweatlife

Without movement, life is dull. Staying active, getting sweaty, and being passionate about life are essential to a person’s well-being. “The Sweatlife” is a slogan that captures this idea to a tee, and this concept is the axis that this artwork revolves around. With overlapping characters and shapes, this art piece gives shape to movement via bold colors and abstract patterns. In the scene, the lululemon spirit is shown through a community of athletes getting sweaty in their own ways.


《热汗生活》

The sweatlife, 生活中无处不动,无处不流汗,动起来,爱生活。以Slogan为创作灵感,人物与运动的各种元素相互叠加串联起来。用生动有趣的方式来结合日常生活中的元素,让抽象场景里的人物之间产生联结。这幅作品将色块状人物进行的大胆地分割和重叠,呈现出流畅线条画面来展现运动、冥想和社群生活的结合,体现出lululemon一直在践行的价值观。


上海东平 SHANGHAI DONGPING / Shanghai Looking Glass

Shanghai Looking Glass

The aged villas of Shanghai tell stories that span centuries. Their windows are the witness to an evolution of haipai (海派) culture, and through them, they’ve lent a multitude of perspectives for generations throughout the city’s history.

Through a large stained-glass installation that has replaced the building’s windows, we present a story of Shanghai as it changes from day to night. On the installation, we depict youth engaged in a variety of fitness pursuits, dapper grandpas and qipao-wearing grandmas strolling the streets, and highlight iconic haipai motifs—such as white magnolias, shikumen designs, and haipai-inspired interior designs. Together, these human elements and architectural details showcase the unique local character that can be found on any ordinary day in Shanghai.


《群窗万象》

我们从老洋房建筑读到百年的历史文化,透过窗户领略不同海派文化。透过窗户看到历史建筑和当下的人文故事,如果说老洋房承载历史,那么窗户就是在述说一代又一代的故事。画面选取上海老洋房的彩窗来作为视觉语言,呈现了上海在日夜更替中的热汗氛围。

画面中我们可以看到正在享受运动的小伙伴、老克勒及穿旗袍女性人物,同时也有丰富的海派元素:白玉兰花、石库门建筑特色、老洋房内饰花纹、具有海派风情的地砖图案等,两者相融合勾勒出一副充满活力与能量的群窗万象。


上海嘉里中心 SHANGHAI KERRY CENTER / Flowing Through

Flowing Through

This mural showcases the growth and development of the Lululemon brand from West to East. A diverse community of athletes start in Vancouver and flow their way across the frame from right to left, crossing the Pacific Ocean and arriving in Shanghai. Along the way, the group engages in a variety of activities and sports as an expression of the brand’s active lifestyle DNA. The mural shows the evolution of a “yoga pants” brand into a global athleisure phenomenon and lifestyle fashion brand with industry-leading functional sportswear technology. The commonality within the group is a commitment to living in the moment, connected, flowing, and full of vitality. The mural was executed in Lululemon’s brand new Shanghai Flagship store covering a wall approximately 8 meters long and 3 meters high.


《穿流》

该作品通过巧妙地画面设计呈现了Lululemon从西到东的发展历程,队伍从右到左代表了lululmeon与它息息相关的群体发展。lululemon的品牌灵魂与精神以加拿大西海岸的瑜伽教室为起点,发展至席卷全球生活方式的穿戴潮流,逐步注重开发功能化技术的运动服饰,再到打造多样化的品牌社区,最终也在中国扎下了足迹。队伍中所有人的共性就是活在当下,互相连接,流动,轻松,充满生命力。此墙长约8米,高约3米。


上海太古汇 SHANGHAI TAIKOOHUI / Flowing Through

Modern Community

The mural design is inspired by traditional “Shikumen” alley life of local Shanghai residents in the area nearby TaiKoo Hui, where the Lululemon store is located. The maze of dense lanes shows a group of childhood friends playing and having fun as part of a large, interconnected community. The mural is an evolution of the same group of friends growing up and blossoming into the world with different trajectories but retaining a spirt of play and a passion for an active lifestyle. The concept brings together people who love sports and fitness but live in different times and of different backgrounds: some are kicking a shuttlecock, office workers are enjoying a morning jog, while others practice yoga or play tennis. The past is intertwined with modern life as we pursue an active lifestyle. Throughout the composition you can also find slogans and sayings from Shanghaiese dialect created in a font style reminiscent of old Shanghai editorial magazines. The mural was executed in Lululemon’s new Taikoo Hui store covering a wall approximately 10 meters long and 3 meters high.


《摩登社区》

该设计灵感源于太古汇所处区域的旧时本地居民的石库门生活,儿时的玩伴在不同的里弄之间充满乐趣玩耍,就像是一个大型社区,如今儿时的玩伴已长大,成为有着不同背景和生活轨迹的人。
我们希望通过此画面将热爱运动和生活在不同时间与不同背景的人们聚集在此。画面中可以看到有人在老上海石库⻔中踢毽玩乐,有人在摩登太古汇享受晨跑的上班族。过去与摩登生活相互交织。另以老上海画报字体风格构成的沪语点缀,让整个画面更加富有城市的印记,既生动,又富有活力和朝气。此墙长约10米,高约3米。

For Absolut Vodka’s GLIMMER limited-edition bottle campaign, we created a series of key visuals and a short film featuring light-writing graffiti and long exposure photography techniques. We turned the GLIMMER bottles into illuminated “paint brushes” and took to the streets of Shanghai to tell the campaign’s “Make The Present Exceptional” story.


我们为绝对伏特加的绝对闪耀版限量系列创作了一系列的平面主视觉和延时光影涂鸦摄影的短片。我们将绝对闪耀版的瓶身变身为光影“画笔”走在上海街头传递着“绝对创意 就耀现在”的故事。


闪耀 – Shine


永恒 – Eternal


亮 – Bright

We created a video campaign to promote Vans’ annual House of Vans summer event series in Asia. House of Vans is a traveling hub of culture, creativity, and sport in which Vans celebrates its main brand pillars: music, art, skate. House of Vans made stops in Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi’an, Hong Kong, and Seoul, and presented a variety of creative workshops (painting, photography, screen printing, etc), exhibitions, live musical performances, skate opportunities, and raucous partying – a real good time for everyone involved.

For the campaign videos, we combined monster-inspired animations and live footage to introduce House of Vans in fun, interactive shorts. The content was used online, in-stores, and at the House of Vans events throughout Asia.


我们为Vans品牌的House of Vans年度亚洲区夏季活动做了一系列的宣传短片。House of Vans是一场以文化、创意和运动为主题的巡回活动,通过该活动来颂扬品牌的三大核心内容:音乐、艺术和滑板文化。House of Vans此次巡回历经北京、广州、西安、香港和首尔站,呈现了多元化的创意工作坊(绘画、摄影、丝网印刷等)、展览、现场音乐演出、滑板表演以及躁动派对,这绝对是一场众人参与的美妙盛宴。

Caged Floral Clouds 花之云笼

Hakkasan

We created a floral art installation for Hakkasan Shanghai titled “Caged Floral Clouds.” The installation helped introduce summer special seasonal menu at the restaurant featuring flower ingredients. The installation decorated walkways, lounge, and ding areas throughout the space, and was on display throughout the summer months.

Inspired by the dreamy beauty of “cloud seas,” we conceptualized, designed, and hand-crafted “Caged Floral Clouds.” The installation is made up of hundreds of colorfully marbled petals, which were designed to resemble peony, jasmine, and orchid flowers. These petals were cut into an assortment of shapes and suspended from the ceiling as a means of calling to mind the free-flowing form of clouds.

The installation complemented the elegance of “The Cage “—Hakkasan’s signature wooden, hand-carved interior window frames. This reimagining of flowers as clouds is designed to reflect the creative spirit of Hakkasan’s menu offering. The soft, pastel colors of the installation contrast the bold red-and-black restaurant interior, creating a layered and visually-engaging experience for guests.


我们为上海Hakkasan餐厅创作了名为“花之云笼”的艺术装置。此装置旨在推广餐厅的夏日特别季活动,以介绍夏日用花为原料精美烹制的限时菜单。整个夏季,让你徜徉在花海之中就餐。

该装置意灵感来源云海,从构思,设计到最终手工制作“花之云笼”。装置由上百张色彩斑斓的花朵大理石组合而成,营造出大气的牡丹,淡雅脱俗的茉莉以及兰花的奇妙景致。附带不同肌理和颜色的花片构成云朵,通过空中悬挂的方式,展现出层叠不休的悬浮花海。

此装置与“笼子”优雅地相辅相成 – Hakkasan标志性的传统木雕窗柩屏风。将花朵进行艺术分解再重现的方式,正如同Hakkasan的菜品一样耐人寻味。此装置为本为红黑色调的餐厅平添一分脱俗的柔美,使得在Hakkasan用餐的客人有了从看到吃的完整感官享受。

We created a spot to promote a fall / winter parka for fashion brand Tonlion. The parka is especially for music lovers with earphones ergonomically designed into the hood, allowing for optimized wire management and a premium listening experience. The spot combines live-action shooting, stop-motion animation, and a variety of illustration, graphic, and hand-made textural effects. The content was used digitally and in select OOH executions.


我们为服装品牌唐狮的极地羽绒系列创作了一条视频短片。该羽绒系列以耳机线替代帽绳的设计为音乐爱好者们提供了一种更为极致的聆听体验。短片将真人动态影像、定格动画,以及大量插画、绘画和手绘效果融为一体。该作品被广泛运用于网络及指定户外媒体。

A Ham Lounge

Pata Negra

Pata Negra is “a ham lounge” in Shanghai that sells, among other tasty dishes and wines, Joselito brand ibérico jamón – the world’s finest ham!

For the restaurant, ​we designed and installed an interior graphic treatment paying tribute to the bits and pieces of Spanish culture that owner Miguel Jonsson is most passionate about: art, music, wine, sport, and of course, ham! The ​interior ​treatment was done in an urban style utilizing a variety of street-art techniques: stenciling, wheat-paste posters, spray can graffiti, and hand painting. Each wall-graphic tells a little story; collectively they convey the overall attitude and personality of the restaurant.​ We also created Pata Negra’s dining set (tableware / napkin / cup).​

The photos don’t do the work justice, so if you have a chance, be sure to stop by Pata Negra (Shanghai, 913 Julu Lu, close to the Changshu Rd. intersection) and experience the space for yourself…over a glass of wine and some ham, of course.


Pata Negra是一家位于上海的“火腿酒吧”,供应各式佳肴、美酒以及来自世界顶级品牌ibérico jamón的火腿。

围绕着酒吧老板Miguel Jonsson对艺术、音乐、红酒、运动以及火腿的热爱,我们将这些设计元素呈现于该酒吧内的各个角落。设计最终通过模版涂鸦、纸贴涂鸦、喷漆涂鸦以及手绘等多种街头艺术手法完成,呈现出一派都市街头风。每一面墙上的图案都讲述着一个小故事;所有角落里的故事相连透露出餐厅的整体格调。并且我们也为Pata Negra创作了整套餐具设计(餐盘/餐巾/茶杯)。

这些照片尚无法体现出整套作品的精妙,所以如果有机会,请务必前往Pata Negra(上海巨鹿路913弄,近常熟路路口)亲自在空间内感受一下其中的氛围……当然,搭配一杯美酒和一份火腿是必不可少的。

Lola Flores, a legendary Spanish Flamenco dancer, singer, and actress known for her incredibly artful and passionate live performances.


Lola Flores,一位艺能非凡且热情满腹的西班牙传奇式弗朗明哥舞者、歌手及演员。


“No canta ni baila, pero no se la pierdan!” (English: “She can’t dance or sing, but don’t miss her!) – an infamous quote from a 1953 New York Times review of a Lola Flores show that resonated through the global Spanish / Latin community. Lola was not considered a great dancer or singer, but her legendary performances were unlike any other – bursting with passion and raw art.


“No canta ni baila, pero no se la pierdan!”(译文:“她不能唱也不能跳,但千万别错过她!”)——这是一则来自纽约时报对于Lola Flores表演回顾的著名引言,这句话深得全球西班牙/拉丁语系群体的共鸣。Lola并不能称为是一个杰出的舞者或歌手,但她传奇的演绎方式是人们未曾在其他艺术家身上体验过的 – 那是一种充满热情且爆发力的原声艺术。


Inspiration for bar patrons from the great Spanish artist Pablo Picasso.


激发酒吧投资人灵感的一句话,来自西班牙艺术家Pablo Picasso。


This is a fun play on words with a well-known Spanish saying. In English “Abajo las drogas!” means “down with drugs!”, but it can also be understood as “the drugs are down below / in the basement,” hence the following line: “Beware of the people in the basement.”


这是一句有趣的西班牙名句,中文“Abajo las drogas!”意为“放下毒品!”,但也可以理解为“毒品在下方/地下室”,所以接下去的一句就是“小心地下室的人。”


Subtle smoking area / welcome signage next to the main entrance; the graffiti tag on the woman reads “Buen Appetite.”


主入口旁边绝妙的吸烟区指示牌;涂鸦墙上的女人旁边标注着“祝您好胃口。”


The back wall of the bar area was dedicated to teasing the varietal / grape names of some of Spain’s best wines: Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mencia, Graciano, Mazuelo, Listan Negro, Bobal, Monastrell, Albariño, Moscatel, Moristel, Negramoll.

“Las Meninas” (Spanish for “The Maids of Honour”) – a 1656 painting by Diego Velázquez, the leading artist of the Spanish Golden Age. The work’s complex and enigmatic composition raises questions about reality and illusion, and creates an uncertain relationship between the viewer and the figures depicted.


“Las Meninas”(译为:宫娥)——一幅出自西班牙黄金时代的顶级艺术家Diego Velázquez作于1656年的画作。作品散发的复杂迷离气息更加升华了关于现实和幻境的辩题,也让观者和画中人之间的关系更加微妙。

Duende – “having duende” loosely means having soul, a heightened state of emotion, expression, and authenticity. The word is often connected with flamenco music. “Deunde” literally is a fairy or goblin-like creature in Spanish and Latin American mythology.


Duende——“拥有魔力”大意即是赋有灵魂,一种更高境界的情感、表达以及本真性。这个词通常与弗朗明哥音乐相关。在西班牙和拉丁美洲神话里,“Deunde”的字面意思是类似精灵或小妖精的生物。

Lyrics from an Estopa song titled “Tu Calorro.” The song is about an encounter the band members (José and David Muñoz) had with a woman that made them go crazy. The lyrics roughly translate into English as: “Your perfume is a poison that contaminates the air that your hair chokes; it chokes me so that I can’t speak nor understand because its a drug that makes my head crazy.”


出自Estopa的歌曲“Tu Calorro”的歌词,这首歌讲述了乐队成员(José and David Muñoz)与一位女子的邂逅让他们陷入痴迷的经历。歌词大意为:“你的香水味如毒药般浸染着空气,你的发丝令人窒息,让我如瘾将至,不能言语,它好似一种让人疯狂的毒药。”

And what can I answer, since I still haven’t heard you.” We put this on the wall between the pizza oven and the hallway to the restrooms because, well, that’s where it seemed most appropriate.


出自Raimundo Amador / Pata Negra的一首歌“Ay Que Gustito Pa’Mis Orejas”的歌词,其大意为:“我的双耳被缠绕在你的双腿间,如此徜徉。你说‘啊’,我却无力应答,因为你的声音尚未到达。”我们把这段话印在披萨烤箱和通往盥洗室的走廊间的墙上是因为……你懂的,这儿似乎是最合适的地方。

Tableware, Cup, & Napkin Set

Together with the Pata Negra’s interior graphic treatment, we designed a dining set (tableware / napkin / cup) to match the street art “look-and-feel” of the restaurant’s atmosphere. Taking inspiration from Lovegrove & Repucci’s original New York and London tableware sets, we created a Shanghai version that fuses together traditional Jingdezhen blue / white porcelain, graffiti type design of Chinese characters, local-Shanghainese dialect slang, and other fun Spanish / Shanghainese culturally relevant elements.

We wanted to feature Chinese characters on the plates because we don’t see enough of them in the local street art scene in China – they are also just so much fun to play with in a graffiti type design style. The characters we chose represent an interesting linguist quirk that we’ve always been intrigued by: the transliteration of English phrasings into local Shanghainese dialect pronunciations. These phrases are not part of standard Mandarin, and some Shanghainese don’t even know that they originated from English pronunciations. Phrases like: 哇色 (wa se – worse), 烂糊面 (lan hu mian – love me), 着台型 (zhao tai xing – dashing), 混枪势 ( hun qiang shi – win a chance), etc. Other tags on the plates reference core Spanish elements of the restaurant, like: tapas, vino, jamón, etc.

The bus is a retro style electric bus used in Shanghai in the 70s / 80s – we tagged it up with the Pata Negra logo,烂糊面, and a customized 南京路-巨鹿路 (Nanjing Rd. – Julu Rd.) travel line sign as the restaurant is located on Julu Rd.. The sidecar motorcycle used to be popular mode of transportation in Shanghai, and can still be spotted on the road her every once in a while. We tagged it up with 烂糊面 and the Pata Negra logo.


除以上Pata Negra的室内图案设计,我们也配合餐厅的街头艺术氛围为其设计了整套餐具(餐盘/餐巾/茶杯)。通过吸取Lovegrove & Repucci品牌的纽约及伦敦餐具的新颖设计灵感,我们创作了融合景德镇蓝白瓷、涂鸦汉字、上海话及其它有趣的西班牙/上海文化相关的元素。

我们希望在餐盘上呈现中文词语,因为在中国本土的街头艺术场所并没有看到太多它们的身影,用涂鸦效果设计这些字词其实很有趣。我们选用的词语都带有双重语系间奇妙的联结:一些上海方言词句是英文词句的音译。餐盘上的词句并非标准普通话,而有些土生土长的上海本地人或许都不知道它们源自于英文发音,如:哇色 (wa se – worse), 烂糊面 (lan hu mian – love me), 着台型 (zhao tai xing – dashing), 混枪势 ( hun qiang shi – win a chance)等等。其它餐盘上的标示参考了该餐厅主要的一些西班牙元素如:tapas, vino, jamón等。

餐盘上的公车是上海七八十年代的老式电车,我们将其与Pata Negra logo、烂糊面以及特别定制旅行路线“南京路-巨鹿路”融合在一起,后者基于餐厅所在地点巨鹿路。而餐盘上的双轮摩托曾在上海风靡一时,时至今日你依然能在街上瞥见它的身影,我们同样也将Pata Negra logo和烂糊面融合到了该设计中。

Flagship Store Art Program

Starbucks

We created an interior art treatment for Starbucks’ flagship store in Shanghai. The store is located on Huahai Rd., and as such, we developed a creative theme that celebrated the rich history and culture of the renowned street: “The Huahai Life.” For the project, we curated and collaborated with seven local Shanghai-based artists to interpret the theme in their own unique ways across multiple-panel canvas installations throughout the store. See the artwork and the stories behind each installation below.


我们为星巴克上海旗舰店创作了一个室内装饰画系列。鉴于该店位于淮海路,我们以“淮海市井”为主题展示这条承载着丰厚历史与文化的著名街道。在该项目中,我们负责整体策划并与七位上海本土艺术家合作,用他们各自独一无二的风格以多画布的展示装置贯穿于店内来诠释整个主题。以下是出自该系列的作品以及作品背后的灵感故事。

Sally Zou

Creative Inspiration: Sipping a cup of coffee, eyes crawling along the lines of a novel, a young girl suddenly finds herself traveling through the history of Huaihai Road, to the library of Jiaotong University’s Nautical School from a time past.

For Volvo’s Art Session project, we curated and art directed seven of China’s most prolific creative talents to re-imagine the new Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid. The setting for the project was a massive stage in the middle of Zurich’s Hauptbahnhof train station (Europe’s largest open air structure), with countless thousands of curious passer-by’s enjoying the performances and sometimes getting involved in the creative process.

Each artist was given nine hours to complete a treatment of the car, with the next artist painting directly overtop the previous treatment, thus creating a continuous flow of art and creativity across the 4-day event. Check out the time-lapse video above to understand how the cars evolved one after another.

For this project, we collaborated with artists representing a variety of styles, geographies, and interpretations of the topic: What is sustainable mobility of tomorrow? Participating artists, in order of performance, included Shadow Chen, Wang Meng, Sally Zou, Honghua, Hua Tunan, LEFT, and Shan Jiang x Ollie Munden.


在沃尔沃艺术展 (Volvo’s Art Session) 项目中,我们策划并引领了七位中国最具才华的艺术家以现场艺术形式呈现沃尔沃V60插电式混合动力车型。该项目将场地设置在苏黎世中央火车站的中心位置(欧洲最大的 开放式结构),无数路人经过此地尽享艺术表演过程甚至参与到艺术表演中。

每位艺术家有9个小时的现场创作时间将作品执行在整个车体上,下一位艺术家会直接用新的作品覆盖掉前一位艺术家的作品。这个项目不间断地整整持续了4天时间。观看上方的延时视频了解整个覆盖过程。

为了这个项目,我们联合了来自中国风格迥异、地区不同的艺术家,来展示同一主题:什么才是未来的可持续性?参与此表演项目的艺术家,包括:Shadow Chen, 王猛, Sally Zou, 红花, 画图男, LEFT, 江杉 x Ollie Munden。

Customized Product Design

Microsoft

For Microsoft’s ongoing limited edition artist series (and to celebrate the “Year of the Snake”), we created a unique graphic treatment for the brand’s Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500. For this project, we collaborated with Shanghai-based designer Left.


我们为微软的长期艺术家限量版系列艺术家限量版系列项目(为庆祝中国蛇年)创作了特别的插画被用于该品牌的无线便携鼠标3500。在该项目中我们与上海设计师Left共同合作。

The creative inspiration for this design concept comes from the ancient Chinese text called “Mountains and Seas,” which documents various facets of nature, geography, and biology. “Mountains and Seas” says that snakes rise from the sea each year and journey to land, only to return to sea at the end of the year. The snake is an important creature mentioned throughout the book. Furthermore, many monsters and gods that are mentioned in the book have human heads and snake-like bodies. An example of this is Fu Xi and his wife Nu Wa, the Chinese goddess who, according to legend, created the world and its people.


该设计概念的创意灵感来源于中国古籍《山海经》,其中记录了关于自然、地理与生物的方方面面。《山海经》中提到蛇会每年从海中而生,然后前往陆地,只有在年终才会再回到海里。书中也提及蛇是自然界中一种重要的生物,并且,书中的许多妖兽和神仙都是人头蛇身。比如这个设计中就是凫徯和女娲,后者在中国古代传说中创造了整个世界和全人类。


Desktop Wallpaper Design

We took characters from “Mountains and Seas” and presented them in a style that is similar to the shadow-puppets that were used by Chinese storytellers in ancient times. The red seal at the base of the mouse is Left’s name represented in a traditional artist mark. The overall result is an inspiring cultural remix full of Chinese traditional imagery and modern graphic elements.


我们借鉴了《山海经》里的人物并将其以类似中国古代皮影戏的艺术风格表现出来。鼠标尾部的艺术家签名以传统红色印章的形式呈现。总体上,整幅作品充分地体现出中国传统意象和摩登图形元素的灵感碰撞。
