Stepping into the De Ting Hotel, my eyes were instantly drawn to the one in the center of the lobbyStainless steel perforated screenSeize. The screen is based on the branches of ancient Pu 'er tea trees. Through laser cutting and etching techniques, the veins of the tea leaves and the overlapping shadows of the mountains are engraved on the metal surface. The light and shadow penetrate the hollowed-out texture, casting dappled tea shadows on the ground, as if the tea garden is swaying in the morning mist, telling the story of the vicissitudes of the thousand-year-old Tea Horse Road between the real and the illusory.
Front deskWavy stainless steel curved countertopIt coincides with the continuous curves of the tea mountains in Pu 'er. The mirror polishing process makes the metal surface reflect the lush green mountains outside the window, forming“There is scenery in the mountains and mountains in the scenery”The sense of infinite extension. Elevator hallEtched metal door decorationsInspired by the texture of Pu 'er tea cakes, the geometric annual ring patterns metaphorically represent the tea aroma accumulated over time. The coldness and hardness of metal and the warmth of tea culture coexist subtly here.
On the top of the restaurantStainless steel tassel chandelierIt is even more ingenious. Thousands of hand-polished metal leaves hang like a waterfall. Light penetrates the gaps between the leaves, casting shimmering ripples on the ground, as if the tea soup had solidified at the moment of pouring. In the guest roomMinimalist metal line partitionWith the abstract outline of the teapot as the framework, it not only divides the spatial functions but also brightens the overall tone with the luster of metal, exuding luxury in a low-key manner.
The stainless steel decoration of the De Ting Hotel is“Tea Soul·Metal poem”With the core concept, it integrates the artistic conception of Pu 'er's mountains and waters, the profound tea culture and contemporary minimalist aesthetics. The designer abandoned the complex decorative language of traditional hotels and instead constructed the spatial framework with the pure lines of metal and natural imagery, creating“New Oriental Light Luxury”Style——It combines the blank space and metaphor of Eastern Zen with the rationality and tension of modernism.
The theme of tea cultureThroughout: the tea etched on the metal screen, the map of the ancient Tea Horse Road reliefs on the corridor walls, and the spiral metal installation on the dome of the banquet hall (symbolizing the undulating posture of tea leaves in water) all infuse the regional soul of Pu 'er into the cold metal. whileNatural themeThis is highlighted through the dialogue of materials: the stainless steel mirror reflects the greenery outside the window, the metal grille simulates the light and shadow of the bamboo forest, and the cold-toned metal and warm wood veneer form a delicate balance, just like the interweaving of bitterness and sweetness in Pu 'er tea soup.
The creative team adheres to“Material Rebellion and humanistic tribute”The design philosophy challenges stainless steel“Industrial sense”Transform stereotypes into media that carry cultural memories. Through the combination of parametric design and traditional craftsmanship, the hard stainless steel presents a gentle beauty like flowing water and a hazy appearance like clouds and mist. The designer believes that“Metals are not only the framework of space, but also should become conductors of emotions”——Those cold cut surfaces have gained warmth due to the infiltration of tea culture, and the regular geometric forms have become lively with the integration of natural imagery.
This concept is also reflected in sustainable thinking: custom-made stainless steel decorations, after special anti-corrosion treatment, remain as good as new over time. The application of recyclable materials is in line with the Pu 'er tea ceremony“"生 活 不 断" 可 以 翻 译 为 "endless growth"”The circular philosophy.
For guests, the metal art at Deting Hotel is a spectacleMulti-dimensional sensory rituals：
VisionMirror-like metal dances with natural light, and the space changes colors with the seasons. At dawn and dusk, the metal surface turns pale gold or crimson, just like the color change of tea soup at different water temperatures.
Tactile senseThe brushed metal wall is as fine as silk and forms a tactile dialogue with the rough tea brick background wall.
HearingThe tubular metal wind chimes hanging in the atrium gently sing the celestial music of the Pu 'er mountains and fields with the wind.
TasteMetal tea sets and custom-made stainless steel tea tables make the tea-tasting ceremony more modern and ceremonious.
"意觉 觉" 可 以 翻 译 为 "consciousness"The tea culture symbols and metal abstract art in the space inspire philosophical speculation on tradition and the future.
The stainless steel custom decoration of Pu 'er De Ting Hotel is by no means a simple accumulation of materials, but a contemporary translation of local culture. It enables the hotel to transcend its accommodation function and elevate it to a three-dimensional museum of Pu 'er tea culture and an experimental field of modern design aesthetics. The eternal texture of metal implies the characteristic of Pu 'er tea that it becomes more fragrant with age. The futuristic design language, on the other hand, proclaims the renewal of an ancient tea capital.
When guests gently stroke the metal surfaces engraved with tea patterns, their fingertips glide through the past, present and future of Pu 'er——This place is not only a dwelling place, but also a metal poetic monument written in stainless steel, dedicated to tea culture.
