Design Details

Unique Properties
The ceiling and walls are seamlessly connected by seven large purple skins. The theme is other dimension. In front of the natural marble seating counter, there is a symbolic open counter where a top chef prepares superb French cuisine. There are only 10 seats. It is the ultimate in luxury.
Inspiration
An extraordinary space to enjoy the finest French cuisine. The first floor consists of the entrance, waiting area, restrooms, and staff room, and the second floor consists of the seating counter, open kitchen, and kitchen room. Each floor is like a different space. If the first floor is a quiet space of stillness, the second floor is a space of movement.
Research
Skins overlap each other, and there is a slight difference between them, where extremely thin slit lights are embedded. The gradated light illuminates the skins and serves as both base and indirect lighting. Above the boldly patterned and symbolically shaped natural marble counter are ten tiny pin spotlights, the same number as the seating area, designed to illuminate the food on the counter. The walls on either side of the counter are covered with moss artwork, which matches the purple space perfectly. It is the perfect situation to enjoy the finest French cuisine.
Challenge
Today, we are at a turning point in history. In the past few years, epidemics have spread on a global scale, deeply disturbing people's spirits. It is an absolutely necessary activity for human beings in any age. It is eating. We want to spend a peaceful and happy time with people we can trust when we eat. Superb French cuisine served in a space where we can escape from the chaos of the world. This is such a space.
Realization and Technology
Ceiling: acryl paint / Walls: acryl paint, wood grain sheets, magnetic tiles / Floor: carpet, magnetic tiles / Counters tables: natural marble
Operation and Interaction
After spending a short time in the waiting area on the first floor, which is based on soft colors such as greige and champagne gold, the atmosphere changes dramatically when you go up the stairs to the second floor, where another dimension of purple spreads out before your eyes. The ceiling and walls are covered with seven large purple skins that are seamlessly connected. It is another dimension that is difficult to describe in words.
