Amrta
Amrta is a spa interior located in a shopping mall in Chongqing, China. The space covers 334 square meters and contains 20 beds. Light, aroma and music are combined to relax sight, smell and hearing. Even and clean lighting wraps the space and blurs the boundaries of the walls. All lighting is adjustable and smart, so brightness and color temperature change with the weather. A large linear installation of soft nylon threads forms an abstract mountain landscape, inspired by ink painting. Line lights outline the mountain along the corridor.

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