Design Challenge

The designer installs a full-size art work called "Wanwea" at the arrival area for response to the brand connotation. More than 100 different types of food seeds are gathered from different regions of the northern and southern, turned into crystal squares using resin technology, and then distributed and affixed to the wall in accordance with regional relationships, forming an aesthetic device with both cultural value and artistic beauty.

Project Duration

The project started in August 2021 in Chengdu and finished in January 2023 in Chengdu.

Operation Flow

The zenith with translucent fish-shaped decorations placed in groups stretch the flexible posture, making a confluence into the sea, in the contemporary arrangement of an intertwined fascinating Chinese natural culture. In addition, the towering and empty pattern heightens the impression of the space's artistic extension, and the falling art installation is situated close to the diners to deepen the connection, creating a high and lovely level of curiosity.

Research

To some extent, the architecture and design inspiration are always related to the flavor of dishes. In a subtle and multi-dimensional manner, Wanwea Yun Restaurant covers Sichuan cuisine with Beijing cuisine, tradition with modernity, and space with food to perfectly interpret the cultural value concept of "harmony between nature and man, harmonious coexistence," giving rise to a variety of tastes with the perfection of the environment and encouraging rebirth with diversity.

Inspiration

Wanwea Restaurant gets its name from the homophone "Wan Wei," which means "search for all kinds of food and the method to cooking," signifying the catering industry's relentless pursuit of flavor. The proprietor, who was born in Sichuan, has spent close to 30 years honing his roast duck talents in Beijing. An inventive restaurant that mixes real Peking duck and traditional Sichuan food was created when the extreme taste of Beijing met the nostalgia of Sichuan.
