Production Technology
each set of the banquette seater is designed next to a large window scene with a unique piece of potted landscape to provide extra privacy to customers. So people are able to enjoy their own piece of landscape while enjoying their dining. Additionally, each piece of the moss plate you found in the design were inlays and they were installed base on our design intuition, we first worked out certain modules of the mosses to create more than 100 foam plates and test fitted each of them on site for best visuality combination.
Design Challenge
The project required to provide a welcoming restaurant design that is attractive to the passersby inside this busy mall. Client wanted it all age orientated to make the stereotyped Sichuan cuisine more hospitable. Privacy was one great concern too, client wanted an unconventional space that able to encourage private conversation, so small groups of customers from the hustle city can liberate there longer. Occasional private event was also another guideline.
Research
The shop name "Dapab" is named after a beautiful scenic area in Chengdu, China. We studied the geographical character of the location first and begin to draw conceptual story out of it.
