[Luca Nichetto] 北京Tales故事廳 Tales Pavilion
編譯／蘇琨峰 文／Luca Nichetto 圖/Jonathan Leijonhufvud
位於北京的Tales故事館，不僅外觀以銅管材質表現出如草叢般的獨特設計，內部各角落的擺設也像是正靜靜地訴說著不同的故事。這樣的構思，正是來自威尼斯的設計師 Luca Nichetto與中國Tales設計集團基於互信、共同的設計理念「emotion」與彼此默契下的建築精品。
Tales故事廳不但是Nichetto的建築設計處女作，也是他在亞洲的第一個作品。在Nichetto巧妙的手法下，將超過1,200條銅管變成圍滿整座故事館的草叢一般，銅草隨著季節的變化而自然地變幻?色，而在北京麗都公園景色的襯托下，更讓故事廳就像有了生命。其別具心思的室內裝潢和陳列設計精緻而鮮活，讓故事館正如其名地讓訪客們在身置其中時，就如同遊走在滿滿的故事中。故事館的設計可說是Nichetto對年輕、藝術界前衛派的Tales集團所呈現出自由、自然並充滿生命力的表現。
在內部設計上，Nichetto將故事廳分成了六大區塊並使用不同的裝潢材料及顏色來加強各區塊的特色。在故事廳的中心部份被幾個展示廳所環繞的是接待處及Tales集團的商務區。Nichetto選擇使用自河北省舊房子拆下的榆木木板來裝潢這區塊，試著營造出溫暖簡單的感覺。
一樓處白色塑膠與磚塊的裝潢設計則是為了延伸故事廳接待處及商務區的舒適感；靠窗的階梯設計可用來擋住部份的陽光，讓室內多了份神秘感與好奇感；而二樓磚塊與深灰色牆的組合風格，則帶來了傳統自然的風格。
浴室的設計用的是摩洛哥手工訂做的混凝土彩磚，營造出更多視覺上的自然及活潑感；再順著灑著自然光線的階梯往上走則會通到木製地板及由銅草包圍下的開放式屋頂，讓訪客們沈浸在麗都公園的綠意美景之中。
在這些特地為中國Tales設計集團而設計的展示中也呈現出該集團所具有的靈活及適應性特質。內部的陳列構想來自中國的七巧板，在各種不同高度與大小組合而成的三角形輪廓下讓展示者能在各展區盡情發揮其設計構想上的可能性，就連外面的混凝土板凳也有著相同的設計概念。
故事館中每個空間角落的規劃都像是Nichetto所留下的獨特表現空間，這些都可在像是接待處的窗戶、閣樓的手扶梯、空調格欄及地毯擺設等等地方看到；同時，一些國際知名設計品牌像是Foscarini、Diesel with Foscarini、Ibride、Petite Friture、Diamantini & Domeniconi和Seletti也選擇在這充滿溫暖光線、圍繞雅緻都市風格氛圍的Tales故事館中一同訴說著他們的故事。

If one had to describe the relationship between Venetian designer Luca Nichetto and the Tales enterprise in only one word, it would be “emotion.” What brought these two lovers of design together is nothing short of a cocktail of right timing, trust, a twist of luck, and the mutual notion that emotion is at the core of design.
Prior to knowing each other, Tales and Nichetto already shared an invaluable common trait which, in a sense, led them to their eventual partnership: having capacity for risk. They embarked in the journey to build the Tales Pavilion parting from nothing more than a succinct exchange of words at the Milan Euroluce Exhibition earlier this year, which led to a late Sunday chat and a high-spirited and confident “let’s do this.” One month of rigorous work later, Nichetto had completed the architectural design plans and construction started right away at the heart of the Beijing Lido Garden.
The Tales Pavilion came into being through a creative process inclusive of both design and enterprise. Nichetto developed the façade of the pavilion by converting 1,200 pieces of brass tubes into “grass leaves” that camouflage the entire structure. The “brass leaves” oxidize and change color naturally with the passing of the seasons, merging with the natural scenery of the Beijing Lido Garden and giving a sense of life to the pavilion. The architectural design is Nichetto’s depiction of the young and avant-garde Tales, which, much like grass, is free, natural, and full of life with a grand desire of growing.
Standing in great contrast with the “organic feel” of the building, a bronze framework of large straight-cut windows gives onlookers a glimpse of a warm and cozy interior. Visitors will stroll through a non-linear concrete promenade that leads them to the front door, while enjoying the façade’s perfect balance created between man-made modernity and natural randomness.
For the interior design, Nichetto divided the pavilion into 6 impeccably delineated volumes, using different materials and colors to accentuate the outlines. At the heart and central volume of the pavilion, surrounded by the various showrooms, lie the reception and business area of Tales. This section is covered with elm wood recycled from old houses from Hebei Province, creating a feeling of warmth and candidness.
On the first floor, Nichetto’s choice of plaster white and bricks is made with the intention of propagating the cozy feeling created by the wood at the pavilion’s center. The stair case connecting the first two floors purposely downgrades the light in order to create a sensation of mystery and curiosity on what is to come. In the second floor, the natural essence of the brick is maintained and blended with the dark grey of the walls.
The bathroom is custom designed with Moroccan hand-made concrete tiles. The tiles are organized in a decorative pattern to create a more natural and lively effect. The journey through the pavilion ends up a naturally illuminated staircase and out into the openness of the rooftop. Having wooden floors and guarded by the endings of the brass grass, the rooftop will give visitors a feeling of being immersed in the evergreen scenery of the Lido Park.
The exhibition displays of the pavilion were exclusively designed for the Tales Pavilion keeping adaptability and flexibility in mind. Resembling a Chinese tangram puzzle, triangle displays of different heights can be combined and arranged in different silhouettes, allowing exhibitors to bend the room to their wishes. The same concept can be observed in the outside garden in the design of concrete benches. Furthermore, Nichetto gave a unique touch to the pavilion as he used the building’s layout as the design pattern to fashion decorative panels that can be found all over the pavilion. They can be appreciated in the reception’s window, the loft railing, grids of air conditioners, rugs, in front of the bathroom door and on the rooftop.
