A first-floor lobby waiting to be reinterpreted
How can “vitality” be expressed
without using new resources?
Through the prudence of Farglory employees, the imagination of designers, and the persistence of construction crews,
the process was one of conflict and compromise.
After the clash, they decided to flip the wall tiles,
letting the raw texture of the materials open up infinite possibilities.
The result was an rustic depiction of nature’s landscapes—
wall tiles transformed into mountain scenery, floor seams into rivers,
and scattered dice-like chairs as a metaphor for the construction industry’s mining activities.

Material source:
Marble mosaic flooring removed from the lobby.
Material features:
The signature mosaic flooring that was put in when the Farglory International Center was first built; once a visual focal point of the lobby.
During the lobby’s renovation, the existing marble mosaic flooring could not be preserved in its original place, but its craftsmanship was given new life. The design team removed, cut, and reassembled the marble mosaic into five cube-shaped end tables of varying sizes, serving as functional, movable furniture in the new space. Each cube’s mosaic surfaces and seams were precisely aligned and arranged by hand, ensuring the continuity of the original pattern.
