With construction commencing in 2008, the Louie Art Castle in Chengdu was designed by renowned French architect Anthony Béchu. Over a decade of meticulous crafting, it has nearly recreated one of the masterpieces of French classical architecture, the Château de Fontainebleau.
Based on the classical architectural style, the interior design intentionally sparks a dialogue between modern aesthetics and classical elements. Employing concise lines and bold colors, it aims to facilitate interactions among fashion sensibilities from various periods, reflecting CCD’s design ethos for this project.
Embracing minimalism, the interior finishing favors clean, simple lines, creating a serene and unique space that exudes purity and identity. A refined palette of pure white and elegant black sets the tone, evoking sophistication and luxury. Vibrant accents of bright red lacquered panels add a humanistic touch, infusing the space with a feeling of freedom and purity.
By simplifying architectural lines and optimizing furnishings details, the design creates a comfortable and pleasant artistic ambiance that transcends time. In soft furnishings design, the sofas’ main color palette blends the black and white tones from the interior finishes, accented by vivid red highlights that contrast with the wall’s decorative paintings.
The distinctive red hues, combined with sleek modern armchairs, creates a captivating artistic ambiance. The incorporation of contemporary art into accessories, paintings, and furniture details adds a touch of sophistication. Retro floor patterns complement black and white striped modern screens, creating a striking visual statement that elevates the space.
The entire space harmoniously blends creativity, fashion essence, and vibrant lifestyle, culminating in a celebration of form and color. Every corner reveals seamless integration and coherence between details and the overall environment.
Neat, precise lines and silhouettes, along with the cohesive style and color palette, contribute to a harmonized aesthetic throughout. The space is modern, inclusive, and distinctive, imbued with significance. Art here is not isolated, but interprets and enhances people’s lives and spirits, recreating a sensual beauty through colors.
