Alexandria’s Library of Utopian Materials
Due to the lack of space for display, designers, customers or Party A often place the materials on their hands in public office spaces or conference rooms when selecting materials. In this way, it is not possible to intuitively and comprehensively display the feature of each material. It also causes more usage in the public office spaces, which hinders the overall tidiness of the whole office space.
Therefore, Lilian Tian, the founder and chief designer of Shang, decided to use a more than 600 square meters venue in the Shang Yuan and transform it into a multifunctional material library that integrates interactive experience, product promotion and work communication. Behind this decision is a designer with more than 20 years of interior design experience thinking about the development of the design industry, about how to combine this self-owned venue effectively with rich design resources and supplier resources and take the lead in breaking the traditional communication method of the market by creating a new communication platform that meets people’s need better.



In the design of the material library’s space, Lilian not only personally participated in the design, but also invited her favorite Italian architect Momo Andreas Destro to work with her to make sure that different types of materials can show the best display effect in the space.
