This space recreates the living environments of Mongolia and Tibet, displaying items such as yurts, yak tents, and everyday objects.

With the exhibition objective to create a ‘real-life scene’ of the golden age of tea through multi-sensory approach. Our team in Taiwan deployed multi-media projections on the windows in order to create a heightened sense of realism visually, accompanied with the use of ‘oolong tea’ fragrance in the venue for olfactory senses, and use of brick-textured wallpaper for enhanced tactile experience.

Despite the site’s space constraint, our team utilised a single transparent cloth to create a curved partition space,  softening the visitors' vision and smoothening their flow.
