Production Technology

The curved modelling wall like waves consists of three layers. Irregular curved wood above and below is taken as the base. The interlayer is made of GRG custom-made wood. Light emitted through the hidden linear lights deepens the lines of the wall. The adjustable lights could cooperate with the light and shadow show.

Design Challenge

The bar's different heights and radians was the first construction difficulty of the whole project. The results are presented wonderfully after many processes including the repeated inference of the pre-design model, the segmentation of the site positioning; the steel structure covers the foundation; uses wood as a frame, and finally the mold plus rebar is poured five centimeters thick hydration grinding stone, and dozens of times polishing, waterproof reinforcement and other processes.

Project Duration

The project started in June 2019 in Xiamen and finished in September 2019 in Xiamen.

Operation Flow

The design of bar of curved surface of water millstone now, have four kinds of different discretion form, break partition, mutual photograph is in harmony, build different dine to drink a state.

Research

The classic water drop chair was designed by Fritz Hansens in 1958 for the bar of the sas royal hotel. The use in the Sixty Minutes bar is also transformed into a high bar chair. Considering the comfort of dining, the design of the chair part is retained, the legs are extended and the angle of the legs is adjusted.

Inspiration

The original intention of the brand design was to locate the drinking culture of new wave of Chinese style. As the first Sixty Minutes bar in the series was located near the water curtain square in the shopping mall, we decided to take "water element" as the abstract concept of the theme, design with post-modern narrative, and interpret the theme with different materials.
