在这个迫切追求身份认同的时代，时尚文化可以说是一种张扬个性的工具，它赋予个人塑造自己身份多样性的权力。这种时尚认同感亦根植于印度传统文化中，KoAi品牌即Anugrah Chandra对拉贾斯坦邦传统的手工雕版印刷技术—— Dabu的致敬。

In an era fueled by the imperative quest for identity, the cultural phenomenon of fashion can be interpreted as a tool for proclamation of individuality, empowering individuals to diversely sculpt their identities. Quintessentially Indian in its roots, KoAi, is Anugrah Chandra’s label of elevated essentials paying homage to Rajasthan’s traditional hand block printing technique: Dabu.

店铺立面简洁干净，中部镂空的纯白体块和谐地依偎在楝树的树荫下。缎带似的百叶窗延伸并环绕着建筑体块，既没有维持单调的秩序，也没有凭空消失，而是将人们的感官从对建筑的预设感中解放出来。穿过石材砌筑的店门，一个沐浴在阳光中的中岛柜台便进入人们的眼帘。

The façade presents itself as a stark white volume sculpted by its voids, harmoniously nestled beneath the shade of a Neem tree. The ‘Ribbon Window’ which extends and wraps around the corner, liberates one from the preconceived sense of a structure, in hopes of not being perceived as ‘Fascist’ and potentially getting ‘Cancelled’. Walking through the chiseled stone entryway, the user is introduced to an island unit bathed in sunlight.

设计理念旨在与KoAi品牌的意识形态产生共鸣，通过营造柔和的背景，再以重复的模块化元素点缀整个空间，最终形成宛如Dabu手工版画似的空间效果。这些模块代表了不同的功能元素，同时为柔和的背景画布增添了温暖与质感。而这些标志性的元素语言，又将空间和品牌本身缝合在一起。

Resonating with the brands ideology, we aimed at creating a muted backdrop, punctuated and adorned by a repeating modular detail, stamped across the project, much like the Dabu (hand block) prints. These modules take the form of various functional elements, while lending softness and warmth to the textural canvas. This signature elemental language, works as a stitch between the space and the brand itself.

精心设计的百叶窗，作为一种既有装饰性又有功能性的结构元素，将木柱过滤后的自然光线引入室内，在地面形成有趣的光影，为整个店铺营造出舒缓而有触感的空间氛围。

The louver detail was intricately crafted to conceal as well as soften the structural components. The natural light filtering through an array of wooden posts caresses the interior space, meticulously choreographed to offer a soothing yet tactile experience.
