The Design

About Gentle L By Alan Yu Desain Interior Restoran

Gentle L karya Alan Yu adalah sebuah restoran Prancis yang berlokasi di Shenzhen, Tiongkok. Interiornya mencakup area seluas 800 meter persegi dan meninggalkan tata letak restoran tradisional. Di pusat ruang berdiri sebuah kolom baja berukuran besar yang dilapisi aluminium berkerut buatan tangan, dan kerutan tersebut melembutkan tampilan kolom sekaligus menjadi sorotan visual. Sekat baja tahan karat berbentuk lengkung memisahkan ruang-ruang privat sambil mempertahankan bidang pandang yang jernih, sehingga pelayanan dapat diberikan tanpa mengganggu para tamu yang bersantap. Tata ruang semi-tertutup ini menghadirkan privasi sekaligus pemandangan yang senantiasa berubah.

Unique Properties: Situated in Shenzhen, China, Gental L by Alan Yu is a French restaurant, co-founded by Leon LI and Alan YU. The letter "L" in the brand name represents the initials of Leon LI, while "GENTLE" indicates a sense of ritual and French elegance, besides, Alan YU was previously the Executive Chef of a three-Michelin-starred restaurant. The restaurant hopes to provide a private and cozy environment for people to enjoy fine French cuisine, regardless of the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Dimensions & Packaging: Area: 800 sqm
Materials: wrinkled aluminum, carpet, paint, stone slab, lamp (SIKI)

Production Technology: At the middle of the space erects a huge steel column made of hand-made wrinkled aluminum featuring wrinkles, which soften the column visually and make it appear more flexible, hence becoming a visual highlight in the space.
Curved stainless steel screens are used to effectively separate private rooms. Such arrangement ensures the timeliness of services since it provides better field of vision, without interrupting diners. The design enables the realization of an attentive service system.
Design Challenge: As the project is a partial transformation of the original restaurant, the challenges are reducing negative effects on the original restaurant and adding more toilets.
Research: The project shows a novel artistic interpretation of aesthetics. In such a space, one table, two persons and delicious food can form a poetic, distinctive and storytelling scene. The project is an attempt to shape the future of the city, and to stimulate people to discover the inner mind and explore playful experiences.
Inspiration: Most French restaurants usually have a traditional spatial pattern. As approaching the project, the design team, however, made an innovative attempt, which broke with the conventional layout while also bringing in French-style elegance and romance. From geometric shapes to natural material textures, dim light and music, all elements are aimed at producing unique and emotion-evoking spatial experiences and allowing people to enjoy the space as if they are appreciating a piece of wonderful music.
Project Duration: Start time: January 2020
Completion time: July 2020
Shenzhen, China
Operation Flow: It is a France restaurant. Slanting curved structures are freely combined in the space. The fluent planes and broken curved shapes create fluid spatial scenes. Floating structures and oblique forms generate a playful sense of lightness and instability. The space is semi-enclosed, which not only ensures privacy but also enables people to enjoy varying scenes and have different feelings when walking in it.
