The Design

About Knot Knot Restaurant- en Café-interieur

Knot Knot is een Japans-westers dessert- en taartcafé in Guangzhou, China, met een interieur van 1400 vierkante voet. Het ontwerp is geïnspireerd op surrealistische kunst en verandert het café in een kleine kunstgalerie. Handgemaakte Italiaanse turquoise tegels en een donker walnoten deurkozijn markeren de open entree, die leidt naar het taartendisplay en een marmeren bar. Klassieke lijsten met schilderijen, houtsnijwerkdetails, boogramen, twee Romeinse zuilen en een kroonluchter worden door de hele ruimte toegepast. Twee metalen bloemenrekken brengen buitenbeplanting naar binnen. Een spiegel aan het einde van de ruimte creëert herhaalde reflecties.
