Article source: Meta- Studio Located in Pudong district, Shanghai, well known as business area, Studio Meta-, Hong Kong based architecture practice, was commissioned to design XJB Lounge which serves as an exclusive VIP member lounge for metal fabrication company. The main purpose behind the design proposal is to use their existing product which is metal.  Image Courtesy © Meta- Studio

The texture of it is created through a reaction between iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture or other acid. Somehow, rust is a result of natural beauty through a chemical reaction.

Another warm element is introduced to combine as its structural support and decorative feature through voronoi system, which is timber. Having timber as support of metal, it gives a sense of lightness to metal as an image.  Image Courtesy © Meta- Studio  Image Courtesy © Meta- Studio  Image Courtesy © Meta- Studio
