“Design is about finding the way of life that suits you best,” says Ye Jianquan, founder of DAMO Design. Jiahong Garden, in Wenzhou, a Chinese city surrounded by mountains and sea, is the answer: 180 square meters (1,938 sq ft) with no fixed layout.

The living forms and reshapes itself with each arrangement of furniture. Movable pieces, articulated chairs, and folding screens replace fixed structures, allowing the space to reconfigure according to the light, the season, or the mood.

The continuous microcement floor, sober and monastic, coexists with teak and marble. Noble materials that require little care and accept the weight of time. Transformed by air and light, they accumulate scents and marks, carrying the story of the place.

With several catalog models present (Sylvestrina, Básica, Básica Mínima, TMM, and Moragas), light reaches the space already filtered. The stitching in the parchment shades tells how they are made, and their materiality accumulates the trace of time just like the floor below.
