Chuan Spa at Cordis Shanghai, China

Chuan Spa embodies modern Chinese design complete with stylised motifs that have been simplified in line with the contemporary nature of the Cordis brand. A circular archway marks the entrance, a common symbol from traditional Chinese architecture and gardens. A white-veined, grey reception desk acts as a focal point, while treatment rooms are surrounded by timber slotted panels in whitewashed birch and white lacquer, while prep areas are defined by brick red ceramic tiles that reference the old stone Shikumen houses of Shanghai.
