The Design

About Ching Ming Kyoto Design Interior Restaurant

Ching Ming Kyoto este un design interior pentru un restaurant chinezesc, situat într-o clădire de gară din Kyoto, Japonia. Suprafața este de 110 metri pătrați. Reglementările au limitat intervențiile asupra tavanului, astfel încât iluminatul a fost suspendat și tratat ca o operă de artă. Corpuri de iluminat liniare sunt modelate în forme triunghiulare și conectate continuu pentru a înconjura zonele de luat masa. Tavanul este vopsit în negru pentru a accentua liniile plutitoare de lumină și corpurile de iluminat sferice. Pereții sunt acoperiți cu picturi în ulei ce înfățișează povești chinezești tradiționale, combinate cu modele geometrice și plăci de pardoseală grafice.

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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.
