About Carefree Restaurant
Carefree is a restaurant interior designed for traditional Sichuan cuisine in Chengdu, China. The space covers 1480 square meters and is divided into a refreshment area, a wine area and private rooms. Chinese carved fencing and dim lighting give the refreshment area a secluded feeling. The private rooms are kept plain so that attention stays on the food. A sculpture at the center of the moon gate combines the brand name with ink painting. A wall screen shows plants changing through the four seasons, and bamboo, marble and red brick are used throughout.

- Design Challenge
- The designer installed a 360 degrees LED screen on the wall where the vegetation can show the change of the four seasons over time, from lush green to fully dyed autumn color, echoing with the business philosophy of Natural Appeal Restaurant that taking seasonal materials to cook seasonal health food, and using artificial objects to vividly express the ancient wisdom of getting along with nature.
- Research
- When entering the art corridor people will find a picture of sparse bamboo and moonlight shadow. The designer takes bamboo as raw material, and makes the hanging decoration of bright red geometry with artistic atmosphere. The modelling reflection of extremely rich visual tension is on the mirror surface wall, so that the light has the poetic charm.
- Inspiration
- Master Lin Yutang once explained the beauty of architecture as follows: "We are indulged ourselves in it, but we have no idea where nature ends and art begins." Nature and artificiality does not mean disorder or deliberately. In this connection, natural custom should be built into the overall planning of advanced design. Drawing inspiration from seasonal scenery, the YDS Design Office endows it into Carefree, allowing guests enjoy themselves and feel the power of nature.
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2020 in Chengdu and finished in May 2021 in Chengdu.
- Operation Flow
- The sculpture in the center of the moon gate is the finishing touch of the whole space. The designer uses deconstruction techniques to combine the radical strokes of the word "Tianqu" with the ink painting to build a brand logo with both style and beauty. As the brand texts and ink interwoven into the restaurant, the classic style of the whole space is also revealed.
