About Xie Yan 餐廳室內設計

蟹宴係一間專為日本蟹料理而設嘅餐廳室內空間。450平方米嘅佈局以蟹嘅形態排列。一個微微升高嘅平台構成蟹殼,爐端燒吧枱就嵌入其中。兩個卡座區域形成雙眼,而入口處嘅六角形地磚則構成蟹鉗。淺粉紅、白色同透明色調嘅亞加力膠片以幼細三角形之姿由天花垂吊而下,寓意櫻花盛放,並喺地面之上勾勒出第二隻蟹嘅輪廓。設有印花屏風嘅榻榻米用餐區,則提供半開放式同私密嘅座位選擇。

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Using novel design ideas, profound aesthetic skills and unique material selection, the designer presents a catering design case close to space use, store name and diner's feelings. Its visual effect is unique and its spatial style is not restricted. It not only perfectly presents the theme of "Japanese crab cuisine", but also expands into a kind of Gourmet culture of the shop itself, expressing the business philosophy of the shopkeeper and the business value of IP itself.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 450 square meters. The unique design idea is out of the pattern of the traditional catering design, creating a completely different Japanese catering brand image, making the shop's personality expression earn enough attention.

Production Technology: Compared with the gradual change from dark orange to light orange on the ceiling, the designer specially adjusts the color of the light acrylic sheet, blends the light pink into it, and designs it into a fine triangle, then intersperses the white and colorless into it. In this way, the flourishing acrylic films in the mid air are stacked like smoke and fog, and there is an artistic conception of cherry blossoms in full bloom.
Design Challenge: After building the space atmosphere and theme cornerstone together with floor tile, platform, bar and dining table on the ground, the designer begins to focus on the upper space of the building. The acrylic art device suspended from the ceiling echoes the crab on the ground, sketching the shape of another crab in the mid air, which is equivalent to a crab on the ground and a crab in the mid air. The space becomes more complete and three-dimensional because of this idea.
Research: In order to emphasize the pure Japanese flavor of the restaurant, the designer separately plans a tatami dining area at the innermost side, and the screen printed with big crab characters separates the area one by one. The semi open design ensures the privacy of the dining, and also allows people to enjoy the most pure Japanese dining experience: taking off shoes and staying on the couch, sitting cross legged.
Inspiration: The layout of the restaurant is in the shape of a crab. In the middle of the restaurant is a slightly raised platform, which is made up of the shell. The robatayaki bar is cleverly embedded in it, which becomes the pattern on the crab shell. The two card seating areas become the eyes. The floor at the entrance is made of hexagonal tiles, which becomes its claws. The scattered seats near the wall and the ground parquet make up the rest of the feet.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2019 in Kunming and finished in June 2019 in Kunming.
Operation Flow: The design of the front door does not have too many redundant decorations, but the designer uses exquisite details to let customers feel the original intention and sincerity of the shop. The warm lighting and overall color are attracting people to push the door. The construction and presentation of all atmosphere are the best annotation of the word "sincerity".
