Production Technology

Organic wood and panels with a soft sheen establish a gentle, natural foundation, while handmade tiles and marble conjure the imagery of seaside rocks, imbuing the serene atmosphere with a quiet yet steadfast presence. Mirrored accents are thoughtfully integrated to add a modern touch and enhance visual depth within the space.

Design Challenge

The key challenge lay in distilling the artistry and laid back spirit of the Southern French coast into a commercial space. To this end, the design features curves as its core element. Sleek arches and staggered volumes echo ocean swells, while the greenery at turns injects natural vibrancy. Tiles in gradient light blue mimic the shimmering sea surface, capturing the dynamic play of light. Soft illumination, paired with neutral tones like beige and gray, fosters a gentle, serene atmosphere.

Research

Amid the hectic pace of urban life, people long for a brief respite to recharge both body and mind. Guided by this insight, the project transcends the ornate conventions typical of traditional dessert shops. Instead, it harmonizes natural materials, fluid curves, and soft lighting to create a space defined by contours that mimic undulating waves, enveloping every guest in comfort. The semi enclosed seating addresses privacy concerns for city dwellers, cultivating a deeply reassuring atmosphere.

Inspiration

Inspired by the Southern French coast, a celebrated retreat known for its sweeping beaches and warm climate, the design captures the laid back spirit of summer breezes and rolling waves to shape its visual identity. Fluid lines and an airy, rhythmic layout create a gentle rhythm reminiscent of the undulating ocean, offering guests a moment of serene relaxation and pure joy as they indulge in their desserts.

Project Duration

The design work began in Shenzhen in July 2025, with the project debuting at the Ping An International Finance Centre that November.

Operation Flow

The spatial circulation prioritizes efficiency, featuring a central island bar that serves dining areas on both sides while naturally guiding guest traffic and seating arrangements. Implemented across most dining zones, the semi enclosed layout balances openness and seclusion, catering to white collar professionals and business groups who value privacy.
Surrealist paintings by Joan Miró are engraved onto sintered stone slabs, adding visual interest and creating an ethereal, artistic atmosphere.
