Nestled in the heart of the Xi’an Maike Centre, INTHE_Shop is a two-level furnishing boutique that elegantly blends simplicity with transparency. The design concept revolves around “life,” offering visitors an immersive intersection of art and space.

Featuring an array of world-class furniture, lighting, and home accessories, the boutique also introduces its own line of unique products. Beyond its retail charm, guests can indulge in coffee tasting experiences, emphasizing a vision of making everyday life more artistic and original.

The welcoming entrance serves as a serene resting spot, inviting all into the INTHE_ experience. Expansive windows play with light, casting shadows that evoke the facets of gems, creating a captivating indoor ambiance. The space, while showcasing global design flair, is also deeply intertwined with Xi’an’s rich culture, resulting in a layout that’s as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing.
