RAHWAY, N.J. & PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Grignard Company, a manufacturer of atmospheric effect solutions, and Luminator Technology Group (Luminator), a global leader in transit technology and communication solutions, today announced a partnership focused on providing new safety offerings for public transit amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Luminator will provide the Grignard Pure air treatment solution in its portfolio of on-board technology for mass transit operators focused on keeping passengers, operators and other transit employees safe from spread of the virus. Once Grignard Company receives governmental approvals, Luminator will begin in-market distribution of Grignard Pure.

Grignard Pure is proven to inactivate enveloped viruses such as the novel coronavirus in the air, where it is most dangerous, and on non-porous hard surfaces, delivering much-needed continuous protection of indoor and enclosed spaces, including transit buses and railcars.

Recent guidance from health officials indicates that daily or episodic surface cleanings are important but deliver incomplete and short-lived protection. To mitigate the potential for further spread of the coronavirus, episodic cleanings must be coupled with the continuous intervention functionality of an air treatment solution to directly confront airborne transmission of the virus.

In May 2020, Grignard Company engaged Microchem Laboratory, an EPA and FDA Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)-compliant testing organization, to conduct extensive and rigorous efficacy testing. The results demonstrate that Grignard Pure is effective in inactivating 99.9% of airborne virus particles in less than 10 minutes.

Intrinsik, a globally recognized scientific and regulatory consulting firm, also assessed the products health and safety qualifications in May 2020. Intrinsik performed a toxicology risk assessment that confirmed the product is safe for use when used as directed and exposed to a population for extended periods of time.

Grignard Pure is a closely related product to Grignard Companys portfolio of lighting effect solutions. Over the last 20 years, hundreds of millions of people around the world have experienced these products in environments including stage productions, concerts, sporting events, and places of worship. Learn more about Grignard Pure at GrignardPure.com.

Municipalities, states and countries around the world are now focused on executing reopening strategies, and, as critical stakeholders, public transportation operators must have the entirety of effective solutions at their disposal to keep passengers and employees safe, said Etienne Grignard, Managing Director of Grignard Company. We are excited to partner the science-based efficacy and safety of Grignard Pure with the technology-driven expertise of Luminator to give operators an innovative, proven way of restoring normalcy to their business operations.

Luminator will integrate the solution with other on-board technology that will enable the delivery of Grignard Pure via adjustable aerosol flow across transit applications, ensuring reduced potential transmission of the virus on-board buses and railcars and in operator facilities.

Delivering a solution that protects riders and operators is critical to ensuring continued access to mobility infrastructure for millions of people, said Kirk Goins, CEO, Luminator Technology Group. Whether in rural or metropolitan areas, mass transit systems with confined space and fluid daily ridership patterns present unique challenges in ensuring customer safety, and the ongoing presence of the coronavirus adds a significant public health dimension to the problem. Adding Grignard Pure to our portfolio gives us an unparalleled combination of technology and science in an integrated solution for agencies. With it, they can confidently work towards returning ridership to pre-COVID-19 levels, knowing that health and safety are assured.

Luminator Technology Group and Grignard Company will host an informational webinar on Tuesday, July 14. To register, please visit: https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1338892&Sti=Luminator.

Grignard Pure is currently under review for an emergency exemption from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and several state-level regulatory programs. For more information about Grignard Pure, visit http://www.grignardpure.com.

Bottle rockets. Firecrackers. Roman candles.

Such fireworks are synonymous with the Fourth of July. But it's against the law to light them without a permit in Oregon, and scofflaws can face sizeable fines.

With July 4th less than two weeks away and firework retail sales season now open here's how Oregonians can have a safe and legal blast on America's birthday:

Illegal fireworks

Unless you have a permit, popular displays such as bottle rockets, firecrackers and Roman candles are against Oregon law, according to the state fire marshal's office.

The office says that without a permit, Oregon law prohibits the possession, sale or use of any firework that explodes, flies into the air or travels more than 12 feet horizontally on the ground.

All of us share the responsibility to use only Oregon consumer legal fireworks and use them carefully, State Fire Marshal Jim Walker said in a statement. Please also consider your neighbors and their pets before deciding on when and where you choose to light legal fireworks.

Selling or using fireworks is illegal in Vancouver, and they may be used only on July 4 in unincorporated Clark County. Anyone celebrating the Fourth elsewhere in Washington should check local fireworks policies.

Legal fireworks

So what fireworks are legal in Oregon? Not many.

Sparklers, smoke devices and fountains are a good place to start. Wheels and ground spinners are OK, too.

And if you happen to enjoy those little poppers that make loud noises when you throw them on the ground, theyre perfectly legal, as well.

Use common sense and keep a close eye on kids who are using fireworks.

Fireworks graphic

Fireworks and public lands

Areas where fireworks are forbidden include federal and state forestlands, as well as Oregon state beaches, parks and campgrounds.

So if you're planning to celebrate with a camping trip or visit to the beach, it's probably best to leave the fireworks behind.

When in doubt, check with local authorities to see what fire restrictions are in your area.

Penalties

We'll let the fire marshal's office take this one:

"Officials may seize illegal fireworks and charge offenders with a class B misdemeanor, which could result in a fine of up to $2,500 per violation and a civil penalty of up to $500. Those who misuse fireworks or allow fireworks to cause damage are liable and may be required to pay fire suppression costs or other damage. Parents are also liable for fireworks damage caused by their children."

Fireworks from other states

Theyre illegal, too. Fireworks used in Oregon must be bought here and from permitted retail fireworks outlets.

Fires

Fireworks can spark wildland blazes, as evidenced by the 2017 Eagle Creek fire a nearly 49,000-acre wildfiresparked by a teen recklessly tossing a firecrackerin the Columbia River Gorge.

The fire marshals office says 1,173 fireworks-related fires were reported by local fire agencies in Oregon during the five years ending with 2019. Those blazes resulted in over $4.9 million in property loss and contents damage.

Blazes caused by fireworks reported by those fire agencies also resulted in one death and 36 injuries during the same time period, the fire marshals office said.

Those figures dont include fires on federal or Oregon Department of Forestry land, for example, according to the fire marshals office.

Starting in July, risks for wildfire in many parts of Oregon will be high, Walker said. Fireworks can also start structural fires that threaten lives and property, as we have seen in past years.

Authorities have predicted much of Oregon will haveabove-normal wildfire potentialin July, August and September.

Pets

Your pup probably hates the Fourth of July.

The booms, blasts and lights that humans enjoy tend to terrify our furry friends. And the heat doesn't help.

The Humane Society of the United States advises owners to keep their pets away from fireworks, ask a vet for assistance if their pets are scared by fireworks, protect pets from heatstroke and get them a collar and identification tag. (Even indoor pets should have tags in case they try to escape the noise of fireworks, according to the nonprofit.)

Public fireworks displays

The coronavirus outbreak has prompted the cancellations of popular fireworks shows including Seasides annual Fourth of July fireworks display and the Vancouver Fireworks Spectacular. PortlandsWaterfront Blues Festival, which features a fireworks display, has also been canceled.

Authorities are concerned that people may take fireworks to areas where they wouldnt normally spend their Fourth of July, given the cancellations of large holiday displays, and could start fires by lighting the fireworks, according to a fire marshals office spokesman.

Check back later this week for a list of whats open and closed on the Fourth.

Fireworks photos

Most of us carry a camera in our pocket. And many of us will point our cameras or cellphones skyward next week in search of a perfect shot for social media.

Want to make a memorable image of your Fourth of July celebration? Here's arundown of fireworks photography tips from our archives.

What fireworks are legal, illegal in Oregon? What to know as Fourth of July nears - OregonLive

It's been 50 years since Michael and Gene Eavis first opened their Worthy Farm fields to a lucky 1,000 music lovers who paid just 1 per ticket, with Marc Bolans band T Rex taking that inaugural year by storm.

Glastonbury festival has since evolved to one of the biggest in the world, with a site roughly the same size as Oxford city centre and the infrastructure to match.

Over the past 50 years, it has become a truly global event, reaching a broadcast audience of almost 21 million and attracting some of the worlds biggest stars Jay-Z, Adele, Beyonc and David Bowie. Most of them performed on the Pyramid Stage the main stage which is built around a tree Eavis great grandfather planted when he first bought the land.

The joy of Glastonbury is that you never know where it might take you you can stumble into a circus tent and learn to trapeze; you can bump into people youve not seen in years or make new friends; you can unwind at the Healing Fields and get a massage. And its these experiences that stay with you.

While this years festival was originally due to take place this weekend (25-29 June), the annual event has been cancelled due to coronavirus, along with other festivals.

And while were under no illusion that you can truly recreate the atmosphere at home, unless of course you have a 900-acre farm, if you lower your expectations just a little, theres still fun to be had.

The anniversary of an event that is so symbolic of British pop culture will not go unmarked. In lieu of fields, organisers Michael and his daughter Emily Eavis have announced a virtual line-up.

The BBC is planning a multi-platform Glastonbury Experience in light of the cancelled festival, with virtual events taking place across the five days when the event was due to go ahead.

We will never get back the lost Glastonbury the festival would have seen Taylor Swift, Diana Ross, Kendrick Lamar and Paul McCartney play sets, which is a pretty good 50th birthday line-up.

But, with a little bit of ingenuity, heres how you can recreate the festival vibes from the comfort of your own home and garden, without the risk of encountering Worthy Farms mud or loos. Really, its a VIP experience.

From speakers and garden decorations to food and drink, these are the must-haves you need to mark the occasion and make the most of the weekend.

You can trust our independent round-ups. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections. This revenue helps us to fund journalism across The Independent.

"Glasthomebury Festival" launched as an initiative to raise money for charities including Mind, NSPCC and Refuge. It's encouraging people to mark the occasion by setting up a tent from home, raising funds and having some fun. So, pitch up your tent and prepare for a sunny weekend of celebrating in your garden.

If youve got ample space in your garden and are planning future camping trips, the Vango stargrove air 600XL (Vango, 725) topped our review of the best family tents thanks to its multiple rooms, spaciousness and dark bedrooms.

If youre looking for something a little smaller, the Coleman cobra 2 (Amazon, 92.80), came out highly in our backpacking tents round-up. Our reviewer said it was a durable and comfortable tent at a really reasonable price. What better way to prepare for next years festival season than by giving it a trial run in your garden this weekend?

If you want a real glamping experience, invest in an air bed. This Coleman extra durable double air bed (Amazon, 60.17), topped our guide to air beds, with our reviewer praising its durability, comfort, price and all-round versatility.

In lieu of fields, Glastonburys 50th anniversary will be marked by the BBC pumping out umpteen landmark sets from the festivals archive across its BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds platforms. Of course, the most essential part of recreating the Glasto experience is the music itself.

To combine sound quality and portability, opt for a Bluetooth speaker. Not only do best ones pack a punch when it comes to sound, but if theres a speck of rain, you can take it indoors and carry on the party. The Sonos move (Argos, 399) came out best in our review of the best portable speakers.

Sonos is a powerhouse when it comes to wifi streaming audio, so its no surprise that this Bluetooth speaker offers powerful sound. Although it is portable, our reviewer noted that its also big and fairly heavy, which contributes to the perfectly crisp vocals and solid bass.

For something a little kinder to your pocket, the JBL clip 3 (Amazon, 37.95) was highly regarded, as it offers sound that exceeds what its price point or size would suggest. It also has a strong water resistance, so if the rain does come and you want to really get in the Glasto spirit, you can stay outdoors without the fear of it getting damaged.

If youre planning to watch the Glastonbury Experience line-up outside, then consider a projector for a full-screen display and immersive festival vibe.

For something portable, lightweight and affordable, theres no better option than this Toptro mini projector (Amazon, 119.99). Delivering clear images in 1080P full HD, it is also equipped with a hifi stereo system and four-way surround sound.

Set up your screen easily with a plain white bed sheet. Tape it to a wall or hang it from a washing line. If the bottom touches the floor, secure it by placing heavy objects to prevent the breeze from distorting Lizzos performance from the archive.

When dusk hits, lighting up your outdoor space is essential for keeping festival goers spirits up. Whether draped across the length of your garden or alongside an exterior wall, festoon lights are a reliable choice for adding ambience.

The Lights 4 Fun multi coloured LED connectable festoon lights (Lights 4 Fun, 30) were a clear winner in our guide to outdoor lighting. Coming in configurations ranging from 5m to 150m, simply link up each 5m piece to suit your needs.

Our reviewer praised them for being user-friendly, high quality, versatile and affordable. And while you might not be in a crowd by the Pyramid Stage watching Paul McCartney, these will bring a festival glow to your garden.

You could even add this Rex London multi coloured spotty washable cotton bunting (Rex London, 5.95) for further festival feels.

If you want to decorate indoors too, Kolpops battery-powered indoor fairy lights (Amazon, 11.99) will add just the right amount of glow.

If you don't want your evening to run short when it gets cold, prolong the fun with a chiminea. Not only are they great for warmth, but they will also add an atmospheric glow.

This La Hacienda contemporary steel chiminea (Argos, 80), topped our review of the best chimineas.

Our reviewer praised the expansive opening" as it meant that they could "feed the fire with three or four sizeable logs and then sit back and enjoy the heat without having to worry about it going out. Offering excellent heat output with minimal management, you cant go wrong.

Another important aspect of a festivals VIP area (after nice toilets and showers) is the seating.

Recreate the true glamping experience with Outwell casilda XL chairs (Leisure Outlet, 48.99).

This chair was praised for its sheer luxury in our guide to camping chairs. The steel frame is strong and stable, and it folds up easily and has a sturdy strap, which keeps it together in its bag.

For a no-frills picnic blanket that has all the elements you need, opt for the Regatta matio picnic rug (Regatta, 7.95). In our round-up of picnic blankets, our tester said: Its comfortable and soft with a brushed fleecy polyester top, a thin foam layer to protect against painful stones and has a tough PVA back to guard against damp."

To get the real festival experience at home, forego making food for the weekend and opt for a takeaway. For the ultimate treat (justify it because you didnt pay for a ticket) try a fine dining restaurant.

For fried chicken lovers, try 12:51, it's offering pick-up as well as delivery service for north, east and central London addresses in a 3.5 radius via Deliveroo and Uber Eats.

The original buttermilk truffle burger with fried chicken and truffle mayo is not to be missed. And for vegetarians, wed recommend the cauliflower cheeseburger in golden breadcrumbs with butter pickles.

Alternatively, if youre looking to fill your time in between acts, recreate your favourite eateries at home with a DIY meal kit. Best-loved burger joint Patty & Bun is offering lockdown DIY kits and they are faultless.

The meat option (Patty & Bun, 25), features four of its signature beef patties, bacon, brioche buns, a squeezy bottle of smokey mayo, cheese slices and homemade pickled and smokey onions. Just buy lettuce and tomato to finish it off.

While the vegan kit (Patty & Bun, 25), contains four plant-based patties with vegan bacon, mayo and cheese along with buns, caramelised and pickled onions. Delivery is 7 and its available nationwide for both these options.

If you fancy getting your grill on, our ultimate barbecue guide will tell you everything there is to know from the best equipment to the recipes to follow.

While nothing screams a festival like a lukewarm tinny or bottle of wine, this is a VIP experience, so dont fall short by not drinking the best booze.

For a truly great canned cocktail, try Bloody Drinks bloody classic (Sainsbury's, 3), of which our reviewer said: if you think bar-standard tinned cocktails arent possible, the bloody classic will defy your expectations.

It also acts a great hangover cure should you need it, but make sure you serve it over ice.

For the gin fanatics, the joy of hosting Glasto at home means you can make your G&T exactly how you like it. If you want to buy from a local British distiller, theres no shortage of places to try.

Taking the top spot in our guide to the best British gins is Salcombe Gins rose sainte maire, 41.4%, 70cl (Salcombe Gin, 40). It's best served neat over ice or with a premium Indian tonic water (Tesco, 1.91) and a slice of strawberry or lemon peel.

If youre sundowner of choice is beer stock up with the Honestbrew party box (Honestbrew, 59.90) and enjoy all weekend. It's a carefully curated case of 24 beers from independent brands, such as India Pale Ale, Wild Beer Co and Northern Monk.

Theres a wealth of things to do other than listening to music when at Glastonbury. To truly recreate the experience of being at the Healing Fields; the festivals chill-out field dedicated to mind, body and spirit, try an online meditation session (Headspace, free).

If you and your family usually frequent the kidzfield when attending the festival, theres no reason why your children should miss out on a fun weekend. Keep the whole family entertained with a new set of garden games.

The Decathlon geologic soft archery set (Decathlon, 34.99), won the top spot in our guide to the best outdoor games. Suitable for the whole family, it can easily be adjusted to adapt the difficulty by changing the distances.

Each year the festival also raises money for Oxfam, Greenpeace and WaterAid (the Joint Charities teams) these are not only charity partners, but also major benefactors of the festival.

In 2019, the event raised 3m for good causes. So, this years cancellation means there will be shortfalls in charity budgets. To counter this as much as possible, merchandise is being sold on the website for all wishful festival goers.

This hope shines brightest charity tote (Glastonbury Festival shop, 8) is particularly lovely and will see you through nicely to next year's festival. All of the profits from the range will support the work of the Join Charities team.

To honour 50 years of activism, Greenpeace hosted a virtual festival on Saturday (20 June) that you can catch up on over the weekend.

Lockdown meant reimagining the home through new eyes (picture posed by models).Photograph: wundervisuals/Getty Images

Before any of us had heard the phrase lockdown, my parenting style was very much of the Lets go variety. Lets go ... to the park/cinema/museum/anywhere that will get us out of this small flat and make us feel like were not stifling your childhoods with our inability to afford a garden.

As Spain and Italy locked down with draconian measures, we could feel the panic rising: how would my partner, Steven, and I keep seven-year-old Betty and 18-month-old Rosa occupied with no childcare, no family or friends, no private outside space and no throw-money-at-the-problem excursions while trying to hold down our own jobs?

The answer unfolded during the first week of lockdown when I told my mum how frustrated Betty was by Hurricane Rosa, the toddler who destroys everything in her wake, shoving small toys in her mouth at superfast speed. Mum suggested we empty Bettys higher bookshelves so she could use them to play with her Sylvanian Families in peace. For the uninitiated, these are toy figures of rabbits, bears and mice who have homes, furniture whole communities in fact.

What started as a basic school soon evolved into an ambitious recreation of Malory Towers-meets-Hogwarts, with a dormitory, head teachers office, infirmary, canteen and swimming pool complete with tap water. As Betty became ever more invested, so did I, and together we became increasingly imaginative, turning my bedside cabinet into a luxury department store with a rigged-up LED night light and mood music from Classic FM. We then moved on to restaurants and bakeries using bits and pieces I bought from every corner of the internet (day or night, I was able to check out securely using PayPal): so we had cakes made from Blu Tack, sequins for biscuits, scraps of material for tablecloths.

In a world that felt as if it was spinning out of control, there was real comfort in having total mastery of our own tiny domain.

It was then that the lightbulb moment struck: if we were going to be locked down, then we needed to totally rethink the small world that we were living in rather than mourning the bigger loss. From seeing everyday items through new eyes to rearranging furniture, we realised our flat had so much potential that wed never appreciated before.

For Rosa, who was literally climbing the walls and coffee table, we dragged the cushions off the sofa, blankets from drawers and piled them in the middle of the floor so she could face plant on them repeatedly without upsetting the downstairs neighbours. Inspired by fiveminutemum.com, we then invested in bubbles, pipe cleaners and tiny pom-poms that she could sort and play with.We even bought some toddler-friendly crayons at 5am one morning, checking out quickly with PayPal while simultaneously warming up milk and manically trying to keep Rosa occupied. Theres nothing like a pandemic to give you a newfound delight in the breadth of stuff you can buy.

Each room, which before felt confining, opened up with possibilities. Rosa was in her element in an empty bath playing with pots, pans and beakers plus a jug of water while I sat on the bathroom floor catching up on family admin for a full 20 minutes. When I was in the kitchen cooking, she helped by threading dry spaghetti through the holes in a colander. It not only kept her happy, it did wonders for her hand-to-eye coordination.

Meanwhile, Betty inspired by how-to-draw videos by childrens illustrator Rob Biddulph found a new power in creating her own bedroom art gallery and started to render friends and family in paper form so that she could play with them an idea both lovely and heartbreaking. A friend lent us their tent, which we popped up in the sitting room so Betty and Steven could have an indoor sleepover one Saturday night. Lucky Steven.

If this all sounds too Waltons to be true then it is. Its not the full story: Betty also now has an addiction to the computer game Stardew Valley and Rosas fifth word is telly, which she shouts repeatedly as she shoves the remote control at our heads.

Were not nailing this thing by a long stretch, as our downstairs neighbours will attest to. But weve realised that the external draw of the organised fun isnt always the answer; that actually unleashing creativity helped us through a tricky and confusing time. Our imagination was fuelled by theirs and vice versa. I hope its something we remember to take with us into the future.

Fast and simple online paymentsWhen time is at a premium and its hard to get even a few seconds to yourself, the speed of PayPal Checkout makes life that little bit easier

But what to do if youre not actually mature and thoughtful enough to take care of a plant? Buy one or two of these hard-to-kill houseplants. They survive in low light, with too much water, and when you forget to water them. Theyll endure almost any negligence on your part. Just remember two key rules: good drainage and put down the watering can (seriously, stop watering your plants so much).

This little guy tolerates poor lighting, dry air, and even when you forget to water. Fertilize it once a year, and as it gets older, itll produce flowers similar to peace lilies. Just keep the Chinese evergreen warm to keep it happy.

Heres a handy plant to have around if youre prone to sunburn, accidents in the kitchen, or just have acne. Just plant it in loose soil with plenty of drainage and let it dry out completely between waterings.

You let your creativity run rampant with ways to display air plants. They absorb moisture from the surrounding air, but let them soak for 30 minutes once a week to keep them thriving.

With the right care, a rubber plant can grow into an actual indoor tree. Potting is critical, with a loose mix of soil to allow full drainage. Pro-tip: use warm water to avoid shocking the roots.

Aptly named because this plant can endure almost any conditions, from low light to bright light. Just let the top half of the soil dry out before watering and feed it with diluted plant food once a month.

This communicative indoor plant is a mainstay for brown-thumbs looking to reform. Drooping leaves show youre watering too much or too little. Let the top inch dry out between waterings and place it in bright, indirect sunlight.

This fast-growing plant is for people who like to see immediate results from their efforts. It tolerates drought but prefers weekly waterings and low light.

This unique foliage adds a nice burst of greenery to bedrooms and offices, but use caution as its toxic to pets. They like humidity, so require daily misting, but also revive fast after neglect. Theyll return to life even after drying out to the point of browning.

The jade plant loves direct sunlight for up to four hours a day. Its perfect for chronic over-waterers as it enjoys damp soil (but never wet). Just make sure its got flawless drainage to keep it happy.

The pancake plant is another fast-grower that prefers low light. Its perfect for ambitious beginner gardeners with tricky apartment lighting. Let the soil dry out between waterings. Its also called a Chinese money plant, or UFO plant because of the round leaves.

This is another plant thatll grow into a small tree with the right care. Again, give it plenty of drainage and let the soil dry out between waterings. Its also easy to propagate, so once youve mastered its care, you can share it with friends.

You can often find this adorably named and super soft plant as a border plant in outdoor gardens, but it does well indoors as well. It requires lots of light, so place it in a south-facing window and avoid over-watering.

This striking plant prefers indirect sunlight but will tolerate a few mistakes from beginning gardeners well. Dont get the leaves wet when you water and let the soil dry out completely between waterings.

Perfect for hanging baskets in the kitchen or bathroom, this exotic-looking plant prefers bright and indirect sunlight. You can water it often, as long as the soil doesnt become soggy. Theyll also tolerate occasional neglect or a weekend away.

This mini-palm tree with red-rimmed leaves is perfect for a home office desk or nightstand. They like bright, indirect sunlight but will tolerate low-light. Plan on watering about once a week, giving the soil plenty of time to dry out. Reduce your watering schedule further into winter.

Standing out as a small business in the large Haiya Mage Mall in Baoan, Shenzhen is no easy task. Haiya Mega Mall is the largest commercial complex in western Shenzhen, covering a business area of 198,000 square metres and a total construction area of nearly 300,000 sqm. It is a large, family-friendly and experiential shopping mall, integrating culture, cuisine, shopping and entertainment.One of the businesses there is Peak Tea, the latest creation of the Chinese firm, ONEXN Architects. Starting from the clients specific intent, which is to break through the traditional model of retail chains and create an experimental beverage store, the store in question covers an interior area of about 90 sqm and an exterior area of about 100 sqm, focusing a great deal on the outdoor part, right from the outset.Because this is where the game is played, i.e. customers decide whether or not to stop. To help people decide, ONEXN decided to trigger our imagination, to introduce a broader perspective, to see the indoor and outdoor spaces as a single space rather than two separate areas. They inverted the conventional logic that only puts the emphasis on the interior. Here it is interpreted as a support, in other words, the shop you buy something in, while the outdoor dining area acts as a public stage, providing both a setting you can lose yourself in and a possibility of displaying the concept of Peak Tea.Finding a slow, quiet rhythm in such a hectic city is no small feat. A decision that revolves around a reflection on the importance of the natural element for the wellbeing of people, and which influenced the makeover project of this very unremarkable store with some ubiquitous pot-plants intended to give people who stop there a bit of shelter.The ideas of ONEXN Architects with their innovative patio have thrown all the rules to the wind: their proposal, which includes bespoke urban decor was so different to what you would expect that it even required approval from the fire authorities. But all of this certainly didnt put a damper on the creativity of the designers. The simple, white elements that mark the outdoor space are versatile and provide the backdrop for a range of activities, from a culinary experience to art exhibitions. The configuration is simple to ensure that people will experience the subtle changes that occur between them and the space. The overlapping lines of the structures frame a series of scenarios and turn the customers into stars of the scene.Against this, the facade, with its large openings into the shop, attracts the eye of passers-by and is reminiscent of Edward Hoppers masterpiece Nighthawks, where you would expect to see those three famous customers, all lost in their thoughts, close yet distant from each other.The interior design is then the process of simplification and purification. All the details are created to put people at their ease: the colours, materials, the white, the grey, the wood veneer set a background harmony for a serene, relaxed mood where you can sip on a lovely cup of tea. Even in the middle of a busy shopping mall.
