Fab

Fab is a cinema interior located in Xi'an, China, covering a floor area of 1150 square meters. The design moves a film shooting scene into the main hall, so visitors become both an audience in reality and an imagined participant in a movie production. Custom furniture supports the theme, including a bathtub sofa, director style rest seats and a ticket counter shaped like a set box. A lounge bar and entertainment features such as a claw machine are combined with four viewing halls. Acoustic requirements and seating comfort were considered throughout.

YooYuumi

YooYuumi is a family restaurant in Beijing, China, with a floor area of 1000 square meters. The main dining area follows the idea of a ballroom, and the tables and chairs are arranged in a similar form. A castle-like play area for children is placed at the edge of the restaurant, and a flexible path connects the rides.
