Elin Lando Xiamen Showroom & Headquarters

My journey to create a stunning showroom in Xiamen, China, encapsulates the essence of luxury and meticulous craftsmanship.  My challenge was to not only house these exquisite mosaic creations but also establish a corporate office center.  I envisioned the space to appeal to Elin Lando employees, local architects, designers, and tile importers globally.

By accentuating the beauty of handcrafted mosaics, and showcasing Elin Lando’s unique skill and capabilities in natural stone, glass, and metal, I found the inspiration for elegant display fixtures with soft lines, allowing for an open floor plan, and gorgeous views of the sea. Patrons would have the opportunity to view the mosaics in lifestyle vignettes but also impressive leaning panels, making the product feel artful and weightless. Fit for a Chelsea art gallery in NYC.

There was just one problem, my client wasn’t happy with the designs she was manufacturing. She wanted better, and with that, our product design relationship was born.
