BASE is a serviced apartment located in the heart of Shanghai developed by local company YiCheng Investment Development Co. The service apartment was aimed at providing housing to accommodate the ever expanding market of non-Chinese tenants with a desire for simple, modern living spaces.
BASE furniture was designed and manufactured to compliment the simplicity and non-refinement of each guest room. Not only the spacial and functional demands of each and every room needed to be meticulously developed due to the old building creating no typical rooms but also because Yicheng strived for providing a range of usability and function across the room types. Solid, open-grain ash wood with a matte finish created a natural, fresh, light feeling, which was critical in the small spaces.
