About George's Restaurant

Dørene ved inngangen åpner seg til et rom i intenst, klart rødt. Tonede glasskjermer gir en følelse av privatliv. Det er to områder: en hovedspisesal og en VIP-lounge. Hovedsalen er lys, med et selvbetjeningshjørne mot en hvit steinvegg i bølgemønster. En bølgeformet metallskulptur henger fra taket. Lengst til høyre ligger VIP-loungen som har mykt lys og en koselig atmosfære, med en stue og et spisehjørne avgrenset av Andy Warhols 'Marilyn Monroe'-metallgardin. Samlet sett viser kunsten og innredningen en moderne og kunstnerisk atmosfære.

Design Challenge
With red as its main color, the interior is decorated in white. While natural white stone can achieve the desired design effect, tabletops are often in frequent contact with hot dishes, and burn marks and cracking may result. It is also not as hard as other stone varieties. Cutting ingredients with metal kitchen tools can cause scratches and dents on the stone surface. Thus, the stones underwent crystal surface hardening treatment, which increased their hardness and reduced the risk of scratches.
Research
Information is mainly provided by clients and from online research. Meanwhile, we also make use of our experience from previous design projects executed in Mainland China.
Inspiration
George’s restaurant, which places a strong emphasis on modern European cuisine, is an integral part of Hotel Éclat Beijing, a luxury boutique hotel that offers guests to experience museum-quality art while enjoying stylish accommodation. Inspired by Parkview Green’s mission to be a hub of modern art and lifestyle, the restaurant design concept is committed to the mission of sustainability, striving to push the boundaries of science and imagination, to demonstrate a model of contemporary living.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2022 in Beijing, China, and finished in August 2023.
Operation Flow
On the external glass curtain wall is a painting acting as a prelude. Stained glass screens above big clear windows add a sense of privacy. Against the white stone wall showing rolling waves are streamlined L-shaped tables, above which is a lively metal sculpture, Water Drops. Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe is made of a metal curtain in the VIP lounge. Put in a context of bright red, contrasting with white, steel, silver, and adorned with art pieces, the space accentuates sensory exploration.
