The Art of Zen Living exhibition invites Qiwen An, the general manager of Sanmisan Design Company, as the curator, leveraging over 30 years of experience in high-end space design. The exhibition focuses on tea furniture, tea spaces, and Zen tea culture, integrating the four arts: tea ceremony, flower arrangement, calligraphy, and incense. It aims to create an aesthetic space rich in Eastern philosophy, Zen tea culture, and artistic atmosphere.
The exhibition includes immersive experience areas and brand independent booths to foster a scene-based and experiential approach to slow living. An entry point inspired by the "Bronze Beast Motif × Quantum Storm" allows the audience to touch the ancient textures of Shang and Zhou bronze artifacts with one hand while experiencing futuristic digital light and shadows with the other.
In the Zen tea performance area, the fusion of the four arts is demonstrated through VR experiences and digital art installations, restoring the ethereal ambiance of "Qushui Liushang" (A Poetic Drinking Game). Tea masters perform traditional Zen art in a blend of reality and virtuality, showcasing the exquisite art of tea-making.
Additionally, a trendy play space breaks traditional boundaries, with a camping tea area featuring a mossy ground and moonlight tea brewing stations, appealing to Generation Z.
The brand independent booths are designed uniformly by the curatorial team, avoiding templated spaces while emphasizing comfortable and subtle Eastern aesthetics. This transformation enables brands to convey their understanding of lifestyle through their products, evolving from mere display to becoming "proposers of a Zen lifestyle". The exhibition aims to attract brands related to various teas, tea sets, Zen crafts, incense, ceramics, floral arts, and Chinese furniture, ultimately enhancing the cultural value of brands and attracting high-net-worth customers who value lifestyle.
