H&K Leather Workshop Clothing and Bag Store Lighting Design

H&K was founded in 2012 by Kang Chengxiang and Hu Yue, graduates of the School of Architecture and Art at Beijing Jiaotong University from the class of 2008. The name comes from the initials of the founders’ surnames and is affiliated with Beijing Kangfuyifan Trading Co., Ltd. The beauty of every stitch and thread is a commitment that handcrafters never give up. “Handmade with love” represents the designers’ philosophy and their unwavering belief in their products. H&K’s design inspiration comes from recreating the equipment used by the German army during World War II, with a style that exudes a sense of history and nostalgia. The vintage design brings a sense of challenge, excitement, and storytelling to users’ lives, which is the original intention of the designers. Adhering to high-quality craftsmanship, ample materials, water resistance, and durability, H&K incorporates the spirit of artisanal expertise, moving forward on the path of repurposing old items and handcrafting leather goods. From design to pattern making and sewing, every detail reflects a meticulous pursuit and consideration. They always hope that each of their works can stand the test of time, just like all the vintage military bag collectibles.

Hangzhou Moshou Xixi Hotel – Interior Lighting Design

The lighting design creates an indoor space rich in the reserved beauty of the East by means of artificially produced light and shadow, tree shade, and the integration of natural materials with a focus on their surface treatment. It is a restrained selection of every illuminated object to express the original texture of the materials and the delicate handling of details, making people feel as if the lighting was naturally meant to be, just like the wetland woods outside the window, born from nature and reaching into the heart.
The restaurant, surrounded by water on three sides, follows the principle of ecological priority in its interior design, using recycled wooden boards and the “stone skin” – a by-product of lake stone processing – as the main materials. The ground floor restaurant is named “Stream Concealment,” while the private rooms on the second floor are respectively called “Return to Woodcutting,” “Visit the Stream,” “Hidden Fish,” “Seek the Water Chestnut,” and “Happy Persimmon,” echoing the theme that transitions from the pleasure of seclusion to the joy of sharing.
The internal lighting of the restaurant aims to emphasize the natural theme even more. The rough stone walls in the distance are continuously presented through indirect lighting, while the dining tables are carefully highlighted with focused lighting. This contrast in materials, under the effect of lighting, possesses a very dramatic power.
