A Ceramic Sea in the City – Ningbo Porsche Center

Project: Ningbo Xingning Porsche Center
Material: Custom Curved Ceramic Tiles
Application: Lobby feature wall, fusion space bar counter

Stepping into the main lobby, visitors are greeted by a captivating urban feature wall that instantly draws the eye.

An array of handcrafted curved ceramic tiles forms a sculptural surface, their flowing contours overlapping in harmonious layers. Glazed in a gradient of white and ocean blue, each tile reflects light in subtle waves evoking the movement of the sea captured in porcelain.

Woven into the composition is a vibrant accent of autumnal redwood orange, a color deeply connected to Ningbo’s seasonal landscape. This bold contrast transforms the wall into a living portrait of the city, a single surface that tells a local story.

The design extends to the bar counter, where the same curved tiles are paired with a blue-and-white palette. Under the warm glow of ambient lighting, the colors feel fresh and inviting, instantly brightening the atmosphere.

Each tile is individually crafted, lending a tactile warmth that softens the architectural lines. The daring combination of orange and blue brings an uplifting energy, fostering a sense of connection between the space and its guests.

Through the use of artisanal ceramics, the Ningbo Xingning Porsche Center blends modern spatial design with the timeless elegance of traditional Eastern craftsmanship creating a space that is both contemporary and culturally resonant.
