About Dark Gold Restaurant

Dark Gold is a restaurant interior design of 86 square meters, completed in Tainan, Taiwan. Gold tones are set against dark surfaces to create a strong visual contrast. The decorated walls combine panels of different sizes and heights, and dark curtains are inserted to give the space depth. A side wall is covered with grey straight slabs with burning veins. Gold sticks and black mirrors are placed at random. Pentagon lighting bars direct gold beams onto the central table, formed by merging two large round tables, so the chef can interact with the guests.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The design group does not choose the minimalist design all over the market. Instead, the eye-catching wildness in gold is chosen, which will impress the customers with the unforgettable bewilderment, at one single glance.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project is 86 square meter.

Production Technology: The decorated walls, made up with different sizes and different tallness, inserted with dark curtains, give the space profoundness. And the wall aside is covered with grey straight slabs whose burning veins expand in the space. Gold sticks and black mirrors on the wall are randomly decorated, which will take you from the limited space to the unlimited starry sky.
Design Challenge: The pentagon lighting bars have symmetric regularity, irregularly radiating gold beams. The beams shine upon the most important dining-kitchen table in the Karen Teppanyaki—both the dining table to the guests, and the cooking table to the chef. Unlike ordinary square table or big round table for family reunion, the designer breaks the usual arrangement and merges two big round table. The chef surrounded by the guests can properly interact with them, as if the planets around the sun receive the light.
Project Duration: The project finished in October 2020 in Tainan, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The moment you step in Karen Teppanyaki, the shocking decorated walls strike your eyes. Those straight lines intersect with gold colors and black colors, allowing uncontrollable wilderness spreads out of controllable outlines.
Inspiration: The dark shows how shiny the gold is. The designer is inspired by the minerals refined by high temperature in the nature, with an asymmetric harmony.
