Research
As a disciple of the authentic sect of hangbang cuisine, the owner intended to interpret the Song Dynasty catering aesthetics through contemporary art techniques. The designer hopes to present this space in a more contemporary design language, with the coexistence of the East and the West, tradition and modern, fashion and retro.
Inspiration
In the design of the restaurant, a large number of aesthetic elements of Song dynasty are applied to present the cultural charm, as well as modern design aesthetics, and strive to achieve the ultimate in construction technology. Returning to the essence of the restaurant, a good dining experience is always the core of design.
