Longmen Realm by Ecust Creplus Design Wins Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Design

Exhibition Design Reinterpreting Longmen Grottoes Heritage Receives International A' Design Award Recognition

COMO, CO, ITALY, June 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The A' Design Award has announced Longmen Realm by Ecust Creplus Design as a Bronze winner in the Interior Space and Exhibition Design category. The A' Design Award is one of the highly respected and well-recognized international design competitions, acknowledging accomplished work across the interior design field. Longmen Realm is an exhibition design that presents 76 artifacts from the Longmen Grottoes, including Buddhist sculptures, stone reliefs, and calligraphic rubbings. This recognition places the project among a selection of designs evaluated for thoughtful development and professional execution. The Bronze A' Design Award affirms the careful attention given to spatial organization, scenography, and lighting throughout the exhibition.

This recognition holds relevance for the broader interior and exhibition design community, where the presentation of cultural heritage in contemporary settings continues to grow in importance. Longmen Realm demonstrates how spatial design, installation elements, and lighting can adapt a museum gallery to improve how visitors view and understand historical works. By combining historical artifacts with installation design, the exhibition supports cultural interpretation and public awareness of heritage. The project aligns with current practices that prioritize immersive yet historically faithful environments. Within 45 days of opening, the exhibition recorded over 450000 visitors, indicating meaningful public engagement.

The exhibition draws inspiration from the artistic language of the Longmen Grottoes, including Buddhist sculpture, stone reliefs, decorative patterns, and calligraphy from the Northern Wei period. The design introduced large suspended textile banners, mirror-finished reflective flooring, and a central lotus structure to organize the space. In the calligraphy section, brushstroke forms were transformed into installations, creating a relationship between traditional artifacts and contemporary spatial design. Programmable lighting systems and fabric structures suspending large scale imagery further shape the visual environment. Research into proportions, carving styles, and calligraphic inscriptions informed artifact placement, installation structures, and lighting strategies.

The Bronze A' Design Award may serve as encouragement for Ecust Creplus Design to continue exploring the intersection of cultural heritage and contemporary exhibition practice. The recognition supports ongoing efforts to balance historical authenticity with immersive presentation in future projects. It also offers a reference point for the studio as it develops further work that connects traditional aesthetics with modern spatial approaches.
