“Stretching fifty li at length, a half of Chuanyuan is covered with bamboos.” As a county of Huzhou in Zhejiang province, Anji is known as “the Largest Bamboo Town in China”. Choosing Anji as its site has well interpreted Banyan Tree Hotel’s “Close to Nature & Blend in Culture” branding philosophy. As one of the soft furnishing teams, YANG draws inspirations from local bamboo and tea culture, creating peculiar temperament and spirit for Banyan Tree Anji that sets in line with the brand’s characteristics and the reticent space.

Setting in the verdant landscape, the white walls, black tiles, looming flying eaves of the hotel resembles a harmonious ink painting of Jiangnan.

YANG take the brand’s inclination towards simplified Chinese furniture into consideration while selecting furniture. Chunky look pieces conveys the sense of strength and leisure, while the rustic and fresh bamboo woven furniture showcases the local characteristics. Through the coarse textures of light gray linen fabric, one can have a genuine interaction with nature, which align with the the style of a resort. And the whole space is enlivened by accent cushions in dark red, gold and black.

“川原五十里，修竹半其间”，坐落于浙江省湖州市的安吉县，被誉为“中国第一大竹乡”。秉承着“亲近大自然并融入当地文化”的品牌理念，悦榕庄选址于此。作为酒店软装设计单位之一，YANG在充分理解悦榕庄品牌特色、硬装含蓄内敛的空间气质基础上，从当地文化中提炼出竹、茶等元素，为安吉悦榕庄塑造出独有的气节与风骨。

与自然为邻，酒店的白墙黑瓦置身于青山绿水间，飞扬的檐角若隐若现，如同浑然天成的江南水墨画。

在酒店整体家具的选配上，结合悦榕品牌对简化中式家具的钟情，YANG多选用较矮或较宽比例的家具，来传达力量感与休闲感。而竹编家具的质朴与淡雅清新，则体现出浓浓的地方特色，搭配浅灰色亚麻布料，让人透过麻质粗糙的纤维肌理触感来感受自然，契合休闲度假风格。再配以暗红、金、黑色的抱枕，以跳色手法，打破空间的沉闷感。
