What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?

Ocean” is where all the resources from. To convey the overall concept that giving customers a fresh, lively, dynamic, and contemporary atmosphere, the entire interior is composed of western and eastern materials, as well as the idea of the phenomenon of the ocean. The restaurant gives customers an experience that feels like surrounded by the ocean, meanwhile, it significantly expresses the mixing culture and gives a sense of contrast between western and oriental background.

What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

The main focus in designing this work is to really show the concept by the space and design.

How long did it take you to design this particular concept?

It took me a month to design this particular concept.

Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?

I chose this concept because it is related to the food this restaurant is selling which is seafood.

What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?

One of the things that sets the design apart from other similar concepts is that we focus on the perception and senses for this design. For example, we asked the tattoo artist to paint the painting for the visual. And we also used the projector to project the waves with the sound of the wave to give sensations.

Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?

We collaborated with the tattoo artist for the painted wall.

What is the role of technology in this particular design?

The projector works as one of the most important role to provide sensations for the customers.

What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?

One of the most challenging thing we faced during the design was the arrange of space. The space needed to be flexible for both big group of people and small group of people. Therefore, the space needed to be easily arranged based on situation of the restaurant.
