未完成工作室

成都 IFS 商場是時尚精品的兵家必爭之地，在眾多品牌爭奇鬥豔的喧嘩中，ANEST COLLECTIVE 優雅地凝聚了一方安靜的場域，素淨空間讓人不禁放緩腳步停留於此，仔細地窺探眼前這處獨樹一格、充滿創作的敘事場景。

Chengdu IFS Mall serves as a fiercely contested arena for fashion boutiques. Amid the cacophony of competing brands, ANEST COLLECTIVE gracefully carves out a tranquil oasis. The space's minimalist design encourages visitors to decelerate and pause, attentively examining the distinctive and creatively narrated setting before them.

愛好藝術設計的業主，長年受到歐洲傳統與現代美學的滋養灌溉，對於設計有著獨特的品味，在打造品牌成都店時，將後台工作視為一種表演意象，與設計師分享討論後，不願被豪奢的框架定義，空間方面也不甘於妥協以尋常的材質堆疊，於是便以「揭示工作室的狀態」作為架構，將空間轉化為一張畫布，以簡約、敘事性的手法描繪空間抽象的輪廓。

The owner, with a deep affection for art and design, has been immersed in the fusion of traditional and contemporary European aesthetics for years, developing a distinct taste in design. In conceptualizing the Chengdu store, the brand treated the behind-the-scenes work as a theatrical metaphor, engaging in discussions with designers, and resisting confinement within opulent boundaries. The brand was reluctant to settle for mere stacking of conventional materials in the spatial design. Therefore, the concept of "unveiling the studio's essence" was adopted as the guiding principle, transforming the space into a canvas where the abstract outlines of the space are sketched with minimalist and narrative strokes.

展示空間如藝廊般淨白的基調，推開門扇步入空間便能清晰地觀賞內部空間引人注目的階梯，而兩側特殊繃布材質隔屏錯落擺放，若隱若現形成曖昧而抽象的未知狀態，輕柔地作為內部層次過道的分界，讓人陶醉在這如幻似真的場域挑選服飾，穿梭於之間的心境也隨之轉換，架構一場即興的 fashion 秀，每場表演皆吸引門外觀眾目光。

The display space, with its gallery-like pristine white base, allows for a clear view of the striking staircase upon entering. The special stretch fabric screens placed haphazardly on both sides create a semi-transparent and abstract ambiguity, softly delineating the internal passageways. Immersed in this dreamlike setting, selecting garments becomes an enchanting experience, with the mood shifting as one navigates through the space, setting the stage for an impromptu fashion show that captivates onlookers from outside.

布幔後方以精選家具形塑開放而舒適的歇息之處，沙發區延續了上海店壁爐元素，成為象徵家的安穩和凝聚顧客的識別符號，顛覆大眾對精品冰冷、高不可攀的既定印象，呼應品牌不斷揉織藝術創意於設計的大膽想像。用布料堆疊而成的踏階看似沒有盡頭般鏡像對應著，以品牌系列的 A字剪裁作為延伸，人們可以想像拾級而上的端部空間既能是神聖祭壇、也能是崇高的聖所、更可以是心中嚮往的安棲之地，通往何處留在每位顧客的幻想世界裡。

Behind the screens of curtains, a selection of furniture creates an open and comfortable resting space, where the sofa area incorporates the fireplace element from the Shanghai store, symbolizing home stability and serving as a marker of customer identity. This design overturns the traditional impression of boutiques as aloof and inaccessible, resonating with the brand's daring vision of seamlessly integrating artistic creativity into design. The steps, constructed from layers of fabric, produce a mirroring effect that appears infinite, extending the brand's signature A-line style. One can envision the space at the end of the stairs as either a sacred altar, a revered sanctuary, or a sought-after haven of rest, with its ultimate destination left to the imagination of each customer.

商業空間的設計意象反映著業主和設計者的共同意識，陳列空間的蠟染家具與藝術裝置，便是傳達意念的一種形式。顧客相會、尋覓衣裳的舉手投足間，為這個創作中的意識空間縫補合適的細節，而留白空缺讓業主自由地發揮，「未完成工作室」的意境留予未來諸多可能，也與顧客共同創作未來的輪廓。

The design concept of the commercial space reflects the shared vision of the owner and the designer, with batik furniture and art installations in the display area serving as a means of conveying ideas. The actions of customers meeting and searching for clothing add suitable details to this creative space of consciousness, while the blank spaces are left for the owner to freely interpret, leaving the "Evolving Canva" with numerous possibilities for the future, co-creating the future contours of the space with customers.
