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。
