A facelift was requested to bring this 5000sf Chinese restaurant, specializes in Shanghai, Beijing, and Sichuan’s cuisines, to a new life. The ‘Shrimp net’ from the original deco, which was handcrafted by local skilled labours who actually made shrimp nets for living, was kept as a central piece while its weaving pattern was transformed into various surface treatments throughout the restaurant including punch-outs, inlaids, and reliefs in different scales and materials. The sculptural centerpiece was kept as a memory piece for the loyal customers, while the different seating areas provided variations of details consistent with the whole.

一個佔地五千呎，主要製作上海菜、北京菜和四川由當地工匠人手編織成的「蝦米網」作為裝飾品。與此同時，利用其編織的圖案轉化成餐館內不同物料的表面處理手法，以大小不同的沖孔、浮雕和嵌花的方式展示出來。對於每位忠實顧客來說，此藝術品是他們的回憶，而在不同的座位區域中亦有著不同卻一致的細節。
