The Design
About Mays Interior de restaurante vegetariano
Mays es el interior de un restaurante vegetariano que abarca 152 metros cuadrados. El diseño se aparta de la estética religiosa que suele emplearse en los espacios vegetarianos tradicionales. Un terrazo gris negruzco con partículas de cristal azul y nácar reviste la fachada, el suelo, la barra y los tableros de las mesas. El terrazo se fabricó a medida para el proyecto. Cadenas de cobre suspendidas del techo evocan colinas ondulantes. Un muro curvo de metal en la recepción configura un túnel que conduce a los comensales hacia la zona de comedor. Perfiles metálicos embutidos en el suelo delimitan las distintas áreas. Amplios ventanales de vidrio permiten la entrada de luz natural.

- Production Technology
- The YesDesign project team pays high attention to innovation in materials and structures. The gray black terrazzo facade with blue crystal and pearl particles readily catch the eyes of people. The reception area of metal background is presented in a specially designed arc shape, like a time tunnel, directing consumers to the dining area. Grey terrazzo and metal are organically integrated in vision, well coordinated without losing the sense of details. The abundant light shines through large glass windows into the interior space, while showing a glimpse of the internal layers of space.
- Design Challenge
- In the past, old fashioned vegetarian restaurants were usually associated with the "Buddhist rituals", mostly in the religious realm, but how to combine the brand attitude of a natural space, while subverting people's perceptions and maintaining a sense of space without losing details, was the challenge of this design.
- Research
- A custom version of terrazzo was chosen for this project. The designer searched almost every available flooring material and traveled to the material markets in 2 cities, Wuhan and Guangzhou, and finally found an inkstone manufacturer in Wuhan who was willing to customize the terrazzo for this design.
Since most regular terrazzo is gray cement with black and white stones, and we needed to use blue crystal particles and pearl particles, every single particle in the terrazzo that ended up being used in this project was chosen by the designer himself. - Inspiration
- Vegetarianism is a very healthy lifestyle in modern society, and in Guangdong there are folk customs of vegetarianism on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and there are even legends that eating vegetarian food all year round will reverse your growth, which is more useful than using cosmetics. So, the designer thought of creating a space that "inversed time and space", together with the dishes, to make a concept space that breaks the rules.
- Project Duration
- The project started in November 2018 in Wuhan and finished in February 2019 in Wuhan.
- Operation Flow
- The interior space is fully covered with the gray black terrazzo veneers, extending from the ground to the counter and tabletop. The ceiling reinterprets the natural earth. With carefully arranged copper chains, it transforms rolling hills into a scenery with ultimate beautiful visual effects. The ground lines are carefully arranged with metal edges to define the functions of different spaces. The Nordic decorations are visible everywhere, on intimate terms with people.
