The design concept is “Five Flavors”.

In Chinese culture, “Five Flavors” refers to the five basic tastes of food: sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty. Each flavor corresponds to a specific organ in the body.

The concept of “Five Flavors” can be applied to design by creating an environment that stimulates different senses and emotions. For example, the use of warm colors and soft lighting can create a sweet and comfortable atmosphere, while the use of sharp lines and contrasting colors can create a bitter and intense atmosphere.

By incorporating elements that correspond to the five flavors, such as textures, colors, and shapes, the design can appeal to all five senses and create a harmonious and balanced environment. The concept of “Five Flavors” can also be used to create a unique and memorable experience for the users, as they move through the space and encounter different flavors and sensations.
