The design inspiration for Yue Restaurant is rooted in the world-renowned Jingdezhen porcelain. The designers, Qiang Yi, Chao Yang, YL Du and LP Leong, sought to extract elements of this rich ceramic culture and interpret them through an international aesthetic lens. The result is a restaurant that is not only a place to eat but also a celebration of cultural fusion and artistic expression.
Every design element within the restaurant reflects this integration of Oriental and Western cultures. From the handmade ceramic decorations sourced from Jingdezhen to the overall spatial design, the restaurant presents an international aesthetic style that is both unique and engaging. The audience is invited to immerse themselves in this aesthetic and cultural charm, experiencing a unique blend of tradition and modernity.
The realization of this design was not without its challenges. The team had to find a way to present traditional Chinese ceramic culture in a way that would resonate with Western aesthetics and achieve an international aesthetic effect. This required a deep understanding of both cultures and a creative approach to design. The result is a testament to the team's dedication and skill.
Yue Restaurant measures 40000 mm x 40000 mm, a space filled with carefully curated elements that tell a story of cultural fusion. The restaurant is not just a place to dine; it's a place to experience the marriage of traditional Chinese ceramic culture and modern European design. The ceramic works, all created and handcrafted by artists in Jingdezhen City, add a layer of authenticity and richness to the overall design.
The success of Yue Restaurant is a testament to the power of design to transcend cultural boundaries and create unique experiences. The restaurant's design, which has been recognized with a prestigious Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2020, is a shining example of the potential of design to create spaces that are not only functional but also deeply meaningful and engaging.
