The Design

About JIS Kuala Lumpur Salón social y bar

JIS Kuala Lumpur es un salón social y bar organizado en tres secciones bien diferenciadas. La primera evoca los años veinte, con molduras doradas, iluminación ambiental cambiante, lámparas de araña y paneles geométricos, y suelo de paneles de madera. La segunda sección, denominada Sakura Modern, emplea pilares de mármol Arabescato con iluminación y papel pintado en tonos rosados para lograr una atmósfera luminosa y abierta. La tercera es un salón íntimo inspirado en una casa de té marroquí. Un panel de vidrio de colores vincula las distintas áreas. Los asientos se distribuyen con precisión para permitir una experiencia gastronómica cómoda y la conversación cara a cara.

Design Challenge: JIS, originally from Japan. We need Malaysian people to understand JIS culture, by designing a bar which significant and identical to Japanese culture, yet able to adopt to Malaysian market.
Hence most of the materials and fittings were imported from overseas. And yet we need to complete the full renovation within 4 months, for this 11,000 sqft shop lots which located at level 3.
Time is critical but we managed to complete everything within 3 and a half months.
Inspiration: The project attempts to bridge time and space, a ‘Back to the Future, Gateway to the Past’.The Art Deco design features bold geometric patterns, hard angles and lavish use of gold and steel. The Sakura Modern lounge takes inspiration from Zen philosophy. The open plan yet cosy atmosphere, bright and graceful lighting, are reminiscent of spring. The colourful futuristic glass panel can be visualised as a tunnel bridging two separate points in space-time from the Gatsby and Sakura Modern era.
Project Duration: JIS Kuala Lumpur is located in Star Boulevard, two minutes away from the heart of city center, KLCC.
The project started in early June 2019 and completed in December 2019.
It tooks nearly 6 months from design till completion.
Operation Flow: By creating spacious seating layout, people able to connect and socialize each other face to face. Spacing between seating was carefully measured to ensure maximum comfort, while dine-in as well as interacting with people. Color changing from the glass wall and table lamps acted as a key element, which has ability to makes people forget stressfulness from works and focus on connecting to others.
And yes,it works.
