How Do Oriental Designers Use White Marbles?

Mr. Qiu Deguang, whom well Known as the master of the new decorativism,  is very fond of the white series of marble, in its many interior design works have been used.

Today let's show you how do the Oriental Master Designers use white marbles.

Master design approach

Let's see how Mr. Qiu Deguang treats stone in his works?

1. Stacking and de-weighting of stone:

The use of the same type or color stone in the space stacked to form a unified texture and space rhythm embodiment, while in order to moderate the use of more stone to produce a heavy feeling, you can match light and soothing decorations on top of the soft furnishings, such as knitted or fabric, more advanced approach is to use transparent series of materials to do the division of the stone interface elements, go to the weight of the lighter treatment.

The white marble staircase and the Calacatta White wall facade control the overall white tone of the space.

In order to keep the stairs from becoming an obstruction to the view, the designer used a stack of marble materials and silver foil on the edge of the marble steps. Under the reflection of light and shadow, the silver foil holds up the steps like a transparent ribbon, making the whole volume of the stairs lighter and even detached from the wall, with the final effect that when viewed from outside to inside, the stairs are suspended in the air like a three-dimensional sculpture.

2. Pixelated cutting treatment of Calacatta marble:

The Calacatta White marble itself is already rich in pattern and pure texture, but the use of interface division pattern collage processing makes this landscape pattern recombination becomes more changeful.

The designer pixelated the Calacatta marble with western charm to make a collage of patterns, and did not highlight the material itself, thus creating a mottled feeling, quite like an oriental Chinese landscap painting with caramel ink.

3. Stone inlay pattern, visual extension processing.

Stone mosaic process is ancient and traditional, but the integration of new areas still reflects the novelty of stone mosaic pattern to form a visual "extension", enriching the sense of motion of space, to strengthen the role of space guide.

The designer innovated the process of stone embedded mosaic for the ground of the space entrance, to realize the exquisite "Spiritual Bird Ascending Cloud" pattern extending from the entrance to the interior, and the space is integrated in an orderly manner.

In fact, Mr. Qiu Deguang use of stone space processing techniques far more than these three, there are such design techniques as "color separation, sequence, borrowing" and so on applied to many of his spaces, we can take the above analysis to look carefully at the master in the use of stone design.
