The Design

About Jinxiu Restaurant

Jinxiu is a restaurant interior located inside a commercial complex in Nanjing. The design covers 400 square meters and works with the many existing columns of the building. The columns are used to plan the flow line and the placement of the dining seats, giving the space a clear hierarchy. The layout follows a central axis that creates a sense of sequence. Forms are drawn from the abstract shape of a bright moon and from Jiangnan garden techniques, with rock and window scenery as decoration. Sea base cloth covers the walls and is hand painted with waterproof latex paint.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The project is located inside a commercial complex with many column structures. The layout design focuses on combining them to plan the flow line and the arrangement of the dining seats. The designer used the method of Chinese architecture to borrow the original column structure of the building, and make the space hierarchical and focused.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 400 square meters. The central point of the restaurant is called the central axis, which embodies the sense of ceremony and sequence. The subtle control layer height is the most comfortable experience, and the Chinese style is used for reference as the division of seats, there are many colors in the corridor bridge and elements.

Production Technology: This project uses sea base cloth as the wall material, replacing the wallpaper that is not suitable for restaurant projects. Coloring with waterproof latex paint is not only cost-saving, but also has the texture needed for design, and it is easy to take care of.
Design Challenge: There is a waterscape design in this project, just above the expansion joint of the building, which is the most difficult part to deal with. The designer solved the waterproof problem by designing a movable stainless steel base.
Research: Party A is a chain restaurant organization, hoping to make a new change to the store image based on the traditional image and the traditional Chinese culture. This project is a short-term commercial project, which requires that the material is easy to install, cost-effective, easy to care and repair, and suitable for the operation needs of the restaurant.
Inspiration: Starting from the cultural background, the designer has a deep understanding of the regional characteristics of the project site, and then extracts the abstract shape of the bright moon, supplemented by the gardening techniques of Jiangnan gardens, plus the elements of rock and window scenery as decoration, to reproduce the prosperous scene of Jinling in the golden age.
Project Duration: The project started in August 2018 in Nanjing and finished in December 2018 in Nanjing.
Operation Flow: Because the color matching of the machine fails to meet the design standard, all the wall colors are re-finished by hand on site. All the card seat furniture systems are individually customized according to the design size, and are made of special waterproof and oil-proof cloth.
