Description(English)	In a repurposed factory in Shanghai, WOSA space surpasses conventional sintered stone showrooms by seamlessly blending art, architecture, and commerce to create an immersive experience. Visitors are greeted by distinct small buildings that showcase diverse stone materials and construction techniques. The entrance features suspended translucent curtain crafted from white thin sintered stone slate. Inside, a black stone-clad sanctuary leads to a curved staircase enveloped in golden stone slates. Further exploration reveals a showroom without boundaries, where stone volumes seemingly float with LED screens depict the story behind each material.
Description(Native)	上海的一座 580 平方米改造工厂,已蜕变成一处艺术奇境。在此,WOSA 打造了崭新的商业空间,犹如一座跨越时空的魔幻殿堂。它颠覆了传统烧结石英石展厅的框限,以艺术、建筑与商业的绝妙交织,引领访客踏入一场视觉、触感与心灵的全感官体验。踏足展厅,一系列造型各异的小型建筑物吸引观者目光 - 或方正简洁、或曲线流畅,或古拙雅致、或摩登前卫。每件都宛如一件独特的石材艺术品,生动展现着不同的石材与施工工艺。 穿过入口,一道如梦似幻的半透明白色帘幕迎面飘动,仿佛让人穿越时空隧道般踏入另一个世界。进入内部,一个寂静肃穆的黑石包覆空间呈现眼前,穿过黑石画廊，通往一条蜿蜒上升的金色石板楼梯。登上楼梯,一处金属质感的 VIP 贵宾室随即入眼,室内以精致的木纹铺陈点缀,营造出一种仿佛置身于顶级都会的奢华感。继续探索,无边界的展厅空间展露眼前:仿佛在虚空中漂浮的石材造型、映射着光影变化的镜面天花、以及述说每种石材故事的 LED 荧幕,无一不令人赏心悦目、沉醉其中。最后,一件栩栩如生的石雕作品化身为吧台,邀请访客在此驻足交流,共同探讨如何在自身的空间中运用这些令人叹为观止的石材。 这家 WOSA 展厅,犹如一座通往艺术殿堂的大门,将冰冷的石材提升至艺术的境界,完美融合材质、工艺与空间设计,引领观者漫步于一场视觉飨宴,领略石英石材自身的无穷魅力。
