"Kar Room Aranya" is a brand new store of "Kar Studio" united with "Local Landscape" in Qinhuangdao, Hebei. It is an aesthetic space integrating furniture, clothing, and utensils art.

kar studio is known by the fiberglass furniture. For the first time, in this project, the material is used as the exterior decoration, presenting an extension of the elements of furniture from the indoor to outdoor. Combining with the arc element in the space which is inspired by the traditional Dunhuang Caves, and the texture of microcement coated walls, a carrier for the furniture and clothing is performed.

The furniture area exhibits kar furniture, ceramics and art decorations. As the modern material elements in the space, the fiberglass made furniture is contrasting with the traditional Dunhuang Caves atmosphere in the space. The façade is covered with fiberglass as well, since Aranya is located at seashore, the sea breeze will constantly erode the nearby buildings. In consideration of the advantages of fiberglass: slow to age, waterproof, durable, and the colour will change following the passage of time, in addition to echoing with the furniture indoor, all the above make it becoming the undoubtedly optimal solution as the exterior decorative material. 

In the same vein as the façade and furniture, the indoor bar is made of fiberglass bricks, each of which has been hand-polished by the artisans. While retaining the appearance of  fiberglass, it also ensures that the assembled bar is in a neat and stylish form.

"Kar Room Aranya"store is divided into two areas, namely the clothing area and the furniture area. The latter retains several oversized glass windows, all the solid walls were knocked down in between to make it an open space that allow abundant sunshine to fulfill and lights on the indoor furniture. Due to the translucency of fiberglass, the organic and casual bumpy silhouette appears more obvious under the sunlight, demonstrating the beauty of the material.
