About Ching Ming Kyoto Deseño de Interiores de Restaurante

Ching Ming Kyoto é un interior de restaurante chinés situado nun edificio da estación de tren de Kyoto, Xapón. A superficie do local é de 110 metros cadrados. A normativa limitaba as intervencións no teito, polo que a iluminación se suspendeu e se tratou como unha peza artística. As liñas de luz fórmanse en formas triangulares e conéctanse de xeito continuo para rodear as zonas de asentos. O teito está pintado de negro para realzar as liñas flotantes e as luces con forma de bóla. As paredes están cubertas con pinturas ao óleo de antigas historias chinesas, combinadas con patróns xeométricos e azulexos de chan gráficos.

Unique Properties: Kamio expressed the lightings as a big art by spreading them over the whole the shop area. Making the lightings in impressive line shapes, he tried to create a dramatic atmosphere. The line lights were formed in triangle shapes and connected with each other continuously to surround the shop seating areas.
Dimensions & Packaging: Floor Area : 110 square meter
Tags: Geometric lighting, Chinese restaurant, Kyoto restaurant, Authentic design, Japanese Designer
Production Technology: For many parts, Kamio applied artistic graphics with effective lighting systems. To emphasize the art feeling, he covered the walls with oil paintings, which are telling the some Chinese old stories, with the modern expressions, such as adding geometric patterns on the paintings.
Design Challenge: Perhaps the most difficult parts in this project was to deal with lighting combination. Because the team could not place the lighting equipments directly on the ceiling, they needed to hung all the equipment. Painting the ceiling in black, the team emphasized and focused more on the floating lightings consisted on line and ball shapes. To find the appropriate balance and locations of those different shape lighting was very sensitive work and one of most important aspects to create the whole space atmosphere.
Research: The team made and used 3D images and models to understand the visual effects. It was very helpful to figure out how the line lights can be seen in each seating area. Also, they researched and studied several Chinese stories and art paintings in libraries for the wall graphics.
Inspiration: Because the shop is located in a train station building and there were several regulations about ceilings, Kamio had to have some challenges to deal with lighting systems. Rather than using the normal ceiling lights, he understood and expressed the lights as art aspects.
Project Duration: From September 2018 to March 2019 in Kyoto, JAPAN
Operation Flow: Because the team used a number of graphic expressions such as wall paintings, floor tiles, and lighting shapes, it was very important to understand how those expressions work together. They carefully fill up the drawings with the graphic patterns and shared those images with all staffs to have the common visions. For some parts, they printed out actual life size drawings and discussed about the effects.
