The Mixc Kunshan
The MIXc Kunshan is a children themed public area inside a shopping mall in Kunshan, China. The renovated space covers 4500 square meters on the third floor, where most shops serve children and families. The design draws on Kunqu Opera, a traditional art form born in Kunshan. Elements such as cloud collars, long sleeves, headdresses, stage makeup and musical instruments are translated into simple cartoon forms and applied to large installations, signboards and guardrails. Custom soft furnishings work as seats and as interactive points along the route.
The Mixc Kunshan Kids Area by Li Xiang was highlighted as an exceptional representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. The Mixc Kunshan Kids Area won the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition that celebrates exceptional design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
