Stepping into the Deting Hotel, my eyes are instantly drawn to the one in the center of the lobbyStainless steel perforated screenSeize. The screen is based on the branches of ancient Pu 'er tea trees. Through laser cutting and etching techniques, the veins of the tea leaves and the overlapping shadows of the mountains are engraved on the metal surface. The light and shadow penetrate the hollowed-out texture, casting dappled tea shadows on the ground, as if the tea garden swaying in the morning mist. Between the real and the illusory, it tells the vicissitudes of the thousand-year-old tea Horse Road.
Front deskWavy stainless steel curved countertopThis echoes the continuous tea mountain curves of Pu 'er. The mirror-polishing process allows the metal surface to reflect the lush green mountain scenery outside the window, forming“There are scenes within the mountains and mountains within the scenes”The sense of infinite extension. Elevator hallEtched metal door decorationsInspired by the texture of Pu 'er tea cakes, the geometric growth ring patterns symbolize the tea aroma accumulated over time. The coldness and hardness of metal coexist subtly with the warmth of tea culture here.
On the top of the restaurantStainless steel tassel chandelierIt is even more ingenious. Thousands of hand-polished metal blades hang like waterfalls. The light penetrates the gaps between the blades, casting a shimmering light on the ground, as if the tea soup has solidified in an instant. In the guest roomMinimalist metal line partitionWith the abstract outline of the teapot as the framework, it not only divides the spatial functions but also brightens the overall tone with the luster of the metal, exuding luxury in a low-key manner.
The stainless steel decoration of the Deting Hotel is“"Tea Soul"·Metal poem”With the core concept, it integrates the mountain and water artistic conception, tea culture heritage and contemporary minimalist aesthetics of Pu 'er into one. The designer abandoned the complex decorative language of traditional hotels and instead constructed the spatial framework with the pure lines of metal and natural imagery, creating“New Oriental Light Luxury”Style——It combines the blank space and metaphor of Eastern Zen with the rationality and tension of modernism.
The theme of tea cultureThroughout: The etched tea leaves on the metal screen, the map of the ancient Tea Horse Road in the relief on the corridor wall, and the spiral metal installation on the dome of the banquet hall (symbolizing the posture of tea leaves unfolding in water) all infuse the regional soul of Pu 'er into the cold metal. while"Natural theme"This is highlighted through the dialogue of materials: the stainless steel mirror reflects the greenery outside the window, the metal grille simulates the light and shadow of the bamboo forest, and the cold-toned metal and warm wood veneer form a delicate balance, just like the interweaving of bitterness and sweetness in the soup of Pu 'er tea.
The creative team adheres to“Material rebellion and humanistic tribute”The design philosophy challenges stainless steel“"Industrial feel"”Transform stereotypes into a medium that carries cultural memories. Through the combination of parametric design and traditional craftsmanship, the hard stainless steel presents a softness like flowing water and a haziness like mist. The designer believes that“Metal is not only the framework of space, but also should become a conductor of emotions”——Those cold cut surfaces have gained warmth due to the infiltration of tea culture, and the regular geometric forms have become lively with the integration of natural imagery.
This concept is also reflected in sustainable thinking: custom stainless steel decorations, after special anti-corrosion treatment, remain as good as new over time. The application of recyclable materials is in line with the Pu 'er tea ceremony“Endless vitality”The circular philosophy.
For guests, the metal art at the Deting Hotel is a feastMulti-dimensional sensory rituals：
"Vision"Mirror-like metal dances with natural light, and the space changes colors with the passage of time. At dawn and dusk, the metal surface turns pale gold or crimson, just like the color transformation of tea soup at different water temperatures.
"Touch"The brushed metal wall is as fine as silk, creating a tactile dialogue with the rough-tempered tea brick background wall.
HearingThe tubular metal wind chimes hanging in the atrium softly sing the celestial music of the Pu 'er mountains and fields with the wind.
TasteMetal tea sets and custom stainless steel tea tables make the tea-tasting ceremony more modern and ritualistic.
"Yijue"The tea culture symbols and metal abstract art in the space inspire philosophical reflection on tradition and the future.
The stainless steel custom decoration of Pu 'er Deting Hotel is by no means a simple accumulation of materials, but rather a contemporary translation of local culture. It elevates the hotel beyond its accommodation function to a three-dimensional museum of Pu 'er tea culture and an experimental field for modern design aesthetics. The eternal texture of metal symbolizes the characteristic of Pu 'er tea that it becomes more fragrant with age. The futuristic design language proclaims the renewal declaration of an ancient tea capital.
When guests gently stroke the metal surfaces engraved with tea patterns, their fingertips trace the past, present and future of Pu 'er tea——This place is not only a abode but also a metal poetry monument written in stainless steel, dedicated to tea culture.
