The verve and tolerance of a city and the vitality and tenderness of a home converge and stretch here.

 

 

IDEAT: How do you think the Shanghai luxury market has changed in the past two decades? What are the new trends?
Charles Tong: The changes are really big. One is that the size of the house becomes smaller. As the unit price increases year by year, many developers will control the area of the house in order to take into account the total price threshold and ensure a certain profit at the same time. The second is a luxury house more and more attention to decoration design, 20 years ago in Shanghai most of the standard or rough, now the standard is hardcover, developers also formed their own supply system and product style; Third, the sale is more and more experienced, such as our buyers are luxury residential use experience, and even some owners have led the design and construction of a few houses, they increasingly know what they want, do not want what.

IDEAT: In tomson Yipin's brand new works in 2020, the core concept focuses on "embrace". Do you think this is more of a return to the heart in the era of technology and post-epidemic?
Charles Tong: Technology can improve our lives, but in the face of the epidemic, we find that space itself is more important to us. It is the last bastion for families to come together. The reason we call between the example "arms", because the designer watanabe ZhiZhao in this scheme used in a lot of arc elements - vault and arch is like a sky, sky is the bosom of the earth, arc like harbour, like the arms of the huangpu river is the lujiazui, we believe that the housing is home, also is the bearer of the family.

 

IDEAT: As the fastest growing country, what are the differences between China or Shanghai and the luxury housing system in Europe and the United States? What are the strengths and weaknesses?  
Charles Tong: The advantage of Europe and the United States is the accumulation of creativity and supply systems. For example, the best design is still in Italy, and the best leather products are still in France and Italy first. China one is to develop the advantages of fast, you look at tomson since debut, neoclassicism, decoration, modernism, the industry's first cooperation with Hong Kong designer, was also the first crossover between international fashion brands Versace for example, the first attempt to explain Chinese style element in black and white style, first to explore Chinese zen, we did last year between the example of a theme "plain", take the simple world, and of beauty. This year, we roll out a theme again for "embrace" between model, actually this is the model between the family life of regression Chinese style. We are pushing new things every year. In fact, it has something to do with the rapid maturation of the Chinese market.

 

 

　　From the general trend, this rapid maturity is the awakening of confidence in Chinese culture. Chinese luxury houses are integrated into the changes of Chinese family structure and the understanding of Chinese family culture. Therefore, the advantage of Chinese developers lies in that we can better understand the cultural needs of Chinese people.

IDEAT: In terms of functional requirements and design style, Tomson yipin has always been at the forefront of innovation, but also can glimpse the contemporary luxury consumer group on the "style" and "home" concept, demand has been changing, what do you feel about the 767 m "embrace" home?
Charles Tong: The most critical variable of luxury houses in modern China is the family structure. The increase in the number of children and the number of service personnel leads to changes in the space area and the number of rooms. Therefore, in the design of the 767m "embrace" and last year's 767m "plain" two model rooms, we have achieved 6 rooms in terms of the number of rooms to meet the living needs of more than two service personnel at the same time.  

　　Another variable is the intergenerational change, from the aesthetic of the first generation to the aesthetic of the second generation, there is a huge change. The second generation of luxury consumer group after accepting a lot of Western culture have some reflection, more understand what they want. Perhaps in the future, the three generations of customers will have a more thorough understanding of Chinese culture and a more comprehensive understanding of Chinese and Western cultures.

　　Last year, the "Plain" model is aimed at the post-70s. This year, the 767m "embrace" is aimed at the younger customers, targeting the post-90s generation, and the assumed children are younger. We have also adopted more elements of fashion culture in home accessories, such as trendy play shoes and so on. Such as that of last year, we in the sample room to spare the painter Yu Youhan contemporary works of art, and the "arms", we match display the tide culture pioneer representative Daniel Arsham, empty mountain base, and the contemporary young artists Xu Zhen, Lu Pingyuan, digital artists Zhang Zhoujie and Madsaki works, in receive a space to place the wet shoes and Bearbrick, we choose young people more interested in consumption trend, the overall coloring and lighting are more lively and warm.  

 

 

(conclusion)

"A space that conforms to one's own aesthetic taste, makes one be content with one's own pleasure and focus on peace of mind." - Charles tong

 

　　In the "embrace" of 767 m, we return to the most comfortable living origin, warm, inclusive, bright and safe, and bear the endless growth of a family with more poetic residence of temperature and imagination.
