A NEW DESIGN STORE IN SHANGHAI BY LAPIS BUREAU FEATURES A MONDRIAN INSPIRED GATE

上海船厂1862 ——— MOMA店（深圳市雷小贝设计有限公司） 

Located on the upper floor of the Harbor City MIFA1862, a former warehouse for reparation of large boats recently renovated by renown Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, this new design-dedicated space called ARTSHIP is hosting temporary exhibitions and showcasing different design brands (such as MoMA Design Store, Cassina, Moooi) within an open space floor plan of around 1500 square meters.  

The structure of the building left exposed and the raw details of the architecture, led us to choose a minimal yet sophisticated look for the interiors of the design store, in order to let the various and colorful products on display there to play the major role onto a raw industrial background canvas. 

Each floor has an open balustrade corridor facing an internal full height space, and acts as a continuous “boardwalk” between the different displays and the central existing raw structure of the building. The railings are cladded with either glass or a metal-net mesh, in order to enhance the atmosphere of the open-space and the visibility between different areas. 

Metallic grids have been used as well for the counter-ceiling in the circulation space and for the main access gates on the first floor, purposely resembling a Mondrian pattern structure with some colorful glass insertions. Chromed panels instead scattered on the ceiling above the display area, will be installed in a second phase, in order to reflect and duplicate the colors of the products. A set of white lacquered modular display cupboards can be used stand-alone as pedestals, or combined as Tetris pieces in different clusters combination; such customs cupboards have different shapes, sizes and heights in order to be able to host any kind of products. 

“The white lacquered displays, scattered on the raw polished concrete floor, act as three-dimensional sculptural canvas enhancing each and every design product” say the duo of Italian architects.

The layout is fluid and dynamic in order to underline and catch the space potentials. Multiple combinations of display tables, together with the free standing walls, give visitors a personal experience of the space and allows new store views each time. The subtle presence of white volumes within the retail space matches with the background of the renovated architecture and its strong character, where modern minimal design and raw industrial environment clash in a unique scenario.

Open to the public since early October 2018, Artship is the first completed intervention within the MIFA 1862, that will be dedicated to design and art activities, as well as hosting top brands and restaurants within such unique space facing the river in north Pudong, that is destined to be one of the most successful new design districts in Shanghai.

项目位于陆家嘴滨江金融城的船厂1862，这是一个由著名日本建筑师Kengo Kuma最近主导设计的大船仓库。这个空间新设计名为ARTSHIP，目前正在举办临时展览展示不同的设计品牌（如MoMA 设计店Cassina，Moooi），占地面积约1500平方米。

建筑的结构暴露在外，这个细节使我们为设计商店的内部选择了一个简约而精致的外观，用原始的工业风格作为背景画布让那里展出各种丰富多彩的产品发挥主要作用。

建筑每层楼都有一个开放的连廊，面向内部空间，可作为不同展示以及建筑中央现有原始结构。栏杆上覆盖有玻璃或金属网，以增强开放空间的氛围和不同区域之间的可见性。

金属网格元素同时用于循环空间中的天花板和一楼的主要通道门，设计了类似蒙德里安图案结构彩色玻璃。镀铬的面板分散在二楼展示区域上方的天花板上，用于反映不同产品的颜色。一套白色漆面模块化展示柜可以单独作为基座使用，也可以类似俄罗斯方块来组合成不同模式。这种展示柜具有不同的形状，尺寸和高度，以便能够容纳任何类型的产品。

意大利两位建筑师表示，“白色漆面展示柜，分散在原始抛光混凝土地板上，作为立体雕塑画布，来展现每一个产品的特性”

布局具有流动性和动态性的，用于强调和捕捉空间潜力。多个展示桌的组合以及独立式墙壁为参观者提供了个性化的空间体验，并且每次都可以获得新的商店景观。零售空间中白色材积的微妙存在与经过翻新的建筑强烈个性背景相匹配，现代的简约设计和原始工业环境在独特的场景中发生冲击。

自2018年10月初开放以来，船厂1862完成了它的首次展览，致力于设计和艺术活动，以及在浦东北部河流这样一个独特的空间内做顶级品牌展和餐厅，这注定是上海最成功的新设计之一。
