The founder collected pieces from around the world, and together we integrated them into the space, allowing each visitor to experience her sensitivity to everyday aesthetics through use.
Located on the second floor of a low-density commercial block, the space faces lush greenery. We followed the original structure and opened up the windows to let sunlight and foliage fill the interior with natural tones.
Every detail is considered with care. From furniture and tableware to curtains and ornaments, each element responds to the gentle rhythms of daily life. We hope visitors are quietly moved by these subtle touches. Natural wood is widely used in furniture and fixtures. Each plank was carefully selected to preserve its original grain. The walls, finished in soft textures and paired with fabric drapes, add a calm and gentle atmosphere. Handmade products are shaped by time. We hope people can feel this quiet sense of quality—something that speaks without words.
About
Founded by Kaiwen Zhao, Baicai is shaped by his interdisciplinary background in design and architecture. Zhao studied Industrial Design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and Architecture at the Yale School of Architecture. He currently teaches in the Department of Industrial Design at RISD, and has previously taught at the University of Colorado Denver, lectured at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and served as a guest critic at Syracuse University.
Baicai approaches space beyond the conventional boundaries of interior design, bringing together architectural and product design thinking to address spatial questions. Through different scales of intervention, we explore the relationships between space, objects, and human behavior.
