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.
