Xie Yan

Xie Yan is a restaurant interior created for Japanese crab cuisine. The 450 square meter layout is arranged in the shape of a crab. A slightly raised platform forms the shell, and the robatayaki bar is set into it. Two booth seating areas form the eyes, while hexagonal floor tiles at the entrance form the claws. Acrylic sheets in light pink, white and colorless tones hang from the ceiling as fine triangles, suggesting cherry blossoms and outlining a second crab above the floor. A tatami dining area with printed screens offers semi open and private seating.

Xin Ming Yuen

The entrance is a parade of contrasting materials, structures, and colors. The reception area is a space of tranquil comfort. Auspicious patterns encounter playful decorations.

Going through a delicately adorned roofed cloister is the dining area. Decorated with floral, carb fish images, embossed stained glass screens and the ancient herbalist Bai Zi cabinets, it is a visual journey through time and cultural relics in fashion.
