Gravity
Gravity is a cinema interior in Shanghai, China, covering 2800 square meters. The design is inspired by the idea that extreme gravity forms a black hole that distorts space and time. A white swirl on the ceiling recalls this effect, with stacked light coves that rise from low to high like a revolving staircase. The swirl also shapes the walls and the floor. Flowing lines cover the walls, with gold and silver accents that twist into forms recalling rolled leaves. Materials include stone, acoustic panels, plastic laminate, carpet and gypsum board.
Gravity Cinema by Vincent Li was identified as an exceptional example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Gravity Cinema won the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design accolade that celebrates outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
