Past time
Past Time is a sales center located in Harbin, China, with an interior area of 800 square meters. The design draws on local architectural heritage. Red brick, a common texture on the exterior walls of old buildings in Harbin, is brought indoors as a background wall to recall the past. An art corridor displays photographs of workers from a steelmaking plant, linking the space with the history of the city. Simple leather surfaces are combined with bronze and golden frames and a large art installation, so that historical references meet contemporary design.

The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design accolade which honors outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
