The flagship showroom of the furniture brand LAU, located in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city, does not please visitors with distinct design symbols, nor does it showcase itself through unique display methods. Instead, it humbly invites you to stop and perceive its existence. Only when your body and mind are at peace will it start to speak softly.

LAU doesn't have any eye-catching style features, nor does it deliberately pile up elements. It's more like a time segment that has been extracted. Architect Raimer Buro takes "listening" as the design inspiration and makes the spatial echo the protagonist of the experience. So, space here needs no statement; it just waits for a response. LAU is not a traditional furniture display space, but a life proposal about the "state of existence". This 46-square-meter site, with its layout centered around the central axis, is rigorous and symmetrical. It breaks away from the display-oriented business model and reconstructs the relationship between people and objects, generating new dialogues.

The entire interior is composed of two tones, orange and black, which is highly dynamic. Orange is like warm light, symbolizing life. Black is not emptiness; it is a profound boundary. It is not a decorative color but a constructive language of spatial mood. Just like the "power of simplicity" in "The Old Man and the Sea", LAU uses as few colors as possible to express profound intentions.

An island platform made of natural stone is located in the center of the space. It is not only an important function but also as stable as a sculpture. Its geometric structure is complex and balanced. Two groups of volumes intersect at the same Angle and are connected by a diagonal desktop, which is precise yet warm. On the other side, the square bar counter made of poplar wood is like the heart of the structure, extending inward in rhythm and form language, enhancing the "touchability of the building".

The selection of materials in the space is based on "character" rather than "decoration". Wood, steel, stone, felt - they are the anchor points of the senses and the materials that can have direct contact with the body. Therefore, touch sensation has become an important medium for spatial narrative. Every touch is a dialogue with space, rather than merely a visual pleasure.

The furniture and materials display area is spread out along both sides, with a restrained and orderly layout without any unnecessary visual distractions. The position, scale and relationship of each object are precisely arranged. This is not a deliberate display but a continuation of the architectural language, adding a third perceptual dimension to the experience of being there.

Light here is not a supporting role but a co-creator of the space. In the rest area, soft light boxes blur the geometric boundaries, creating a temperature and blank space similar to that of a movie scene. Light is not only used for illumination but also for depiction. It lingers on the surface of objects, projecting a calm sense of flow, slowing down time and softening the breath.

This film area is not only a place for rest but also a metaphor for a life scene. The stainless steel walls reflect the entire space, as if time has been folded. The black leather armchair is designed to pay tribute to Mies van der Rohe, while the metal chair is like a rock in the sunlight - functionality and art blend with each other, presenting the "habitable" nature of the space.

Adhering to the design philosophy of "less is more", LAU builds the deepest feelings with the least means. Without excessive decoration or noisy statements, it uses materials, proportions, rhythms and light to shape silence and infuse ceremony into the everyday. When you let go of your thoughts and stop speaking, space truly begins to tell its own story.
