Some Thoughts

Based in Shanghai, Some Thoughts designs retail stores and exhibition showrooms through monolithic, continuous material envelopes punctuated by perforated modular display systems and vivid accent lighting. This body of work offers a strong reference when detailing seamless floor-to-wall surfaces, specifying custom interlocking merchandise fixtures, or balancing raw mineral textures with precise technical grids.
