Kylin Speaks | VifaXBASISTEM: Constructing Artistic Habitat in Orderly Space

June 27, 2025

When the texture of materials meets the subtlety of nature, and when aesthetics and art blend with functional order, this is a deconstructivist declaration of negative space, as well as a philosophical debate about objects and emptiness.

The philosophical game of deconstruction and reconstruction

 

01

The Poetic Deconstruction of Functionalism


Mies van der Rohe's “less is more” philosophy finds contemporary expression in the Vifa✖BASISTEM system. The silent opening and closing of the invisible storage cabinets dissolves practical functionality into the blank space, while the hidden load-bearing frame design of the kitchen island countertop, paired with the BASISTEM kitchen storage system, perfectly interprets the modern home's ultimate pursuit of functional aesthetics.

The symbiosis of freedom and order


The meticulously crafted metal veins flow through the wood grain texture, with poetic folds hidden in the breathing gaps—this is a new testimony to the metaphysics of objects, reserving the aesthetics of chaos within absolute control. Vifa's naturally flowing magnetic field coexists with BASISTEM's rational orderly space, reconstructing the dimensions of home life.

 The Aesthetics of Material and Craftsmanship


01

Quantum entanglement of materials: a dialogue across civilizations‌


Vifa's BASISTEM whole-house storage system combines functionalism with Eastern humanistic aesthetics in home design. The fusion of metal-textured storage modules and wood grain is not only a combination of materials, but also a dialogue between industrial precision and natural poetry. Incorporating the wisdom of the Song Dynasty's “Yingzao Fashi” (The Art of Building) of “making the most of materials” into contemporary home life, it achieves a subtle balance between cold lines and flowing imagery.

The Art of Precision: Craftsmanship is the Way


The sharp steel blades glide effortlessly through the wooden grain, as the cool metallic glow harmonizes with the natural rhythm of the wood's texture, elevating mechanical rationality into a resonance between natural laws and humanistic philosophy. Italian traditional leather, meticulously tanned using ancient methods, perfectly contours the furniture's curves, with stitching that traces the leather's natural grain like the paths of stars. Within the interplay of curves and straight lines in the product's structure lies the meticulous craftsmanship of generations of artisans, as well as a reverence for the pursuit of a life of beauty and quality.

‌‌‌‌Folding Time and Space: The Eternal Revolution of Haute Couture‌

 

01

Embedding a timeline for the future


Vifa's design philosophy rejects the traditional concept of a “final state” for home furnishings, instead utilizing a modular structure that can be disassembled to allow for the evolution of space. The steel frame embedded within the walls and the eco-friendly panel system form the basic skeleton, allowing users to freely reconfigure the space according to their needs.

At the same time, in BASISTEM's product philosophy, cabinets are no longer merely containers for storage, but rather “dynamic components” that meet the lifestyle habits and logic of users throughout the entire life cycle of their families. This design logic echoes Borges' concept of “The Infinite Book,” acknowledging that perfection must include the ability to renew itself.

The Silent Fourth Dimension‌


In the spatial acoustic design of this project, a multi-layered composite cavity structure was used to reconstruct the path of sound wave propagation through the principle of geometric refraction. When the environmental sound pressure drops to the threshold of human perception, the presence of physical boundaries is weakened, and the space establishes a connection with users through tactile feedback.

High-end Theory

 

Zhang Huanrong

When objects transcend their functional attributes, the tension created by their form, texture, and spatial configuration becomes the fulcrum for redefining the spirit of the space. Art intervenes in the proportions, rhythm, and interplay of solid and void within a space, transforming physical dimensions into psychological ones. By creating visual contradictions and cognitive conflicts, it provokes viewers to question the essence of space. Thus, art establishes a spiritual coordinate system for high-end spaces, serving as the ultimate language through which space achieves self-expression.

Always placing “people” at the heart of design. Through a deep understanding of both explicit and implicit user needs—from family structure to emotional healing needs, from spatial flow to spiritual resonance expectations—we have created “human-centric scenarios.” When load-bearing structures transform into light and shadow installations, and intelligent systems blend into artistic walls, the boundaries between functionality and aesthetics naturally dissolve. This is the ultimate expression of residential art: creating spaces that have a rational framework yet flow with emotional vitality, ultimately forming a nurturing container for the mind and body.

High-end custom furniture embodies the dual heritage of the Industrial Revolution and the Craftsmanship Revolution. Its core lies in precisely identifying the pain points within the transformation of contemporary lifestyles and seeking inevitable solutions through “unexpected” innovations that make perfect sense. By meticulously crafting “invisible details,” we build a healthy living system where technology is perceptible yet unobtrusive. More importantly, we create emotional resonance that transcends practical value—whether through the tactile warmth of materials that evoke memories or through spatial narratives that inspire spiritual resonance, elevating living spaces into tangible, enduring stories of life.

The essence of storage lies in a profound deconstruction of the aesthetics of daily life, with its core focus on establishing a multi-dimensional spatial order. We firmly believe that order is the underlying logic governing the operation of all things, and a high-quality storage system should serve as an invisible spatial grammar. Functional storage should be elevated to a three-dimensional artistic installation. This beauty of order is not only manifested in visual pleasure but also in the silent construction of a soothing spatial rhythm. When storage truly becomes the invisible bond connecting the material and the spiritual, the home gains the vitality to grow eternally.

 Unfinished Symphony

When the glacial stone platform reflects the light and shadow of quantum entanglement, and when the modular sofa rearranges itself into a spatial variation, Vifa's whole-house customization has already transcended commercial logic. With 219 patents as its anchor, it has carved out a niche in the high-end market: true luxury is when every precision is in sync with the heartbeat, and the space becomes a living entity that continues to vibrate.
