The Onyasai Festival Walk, designed by Vincent Chi-wai Chiang, is not your ordinary Japanese restaurant. It is a unique and immersive dining experience that takes customers on a journey through time. The design concept, Found In Time, is a bold and innovative idea that has been executed with great attention to detail.
One of the standout features of the restaurant is its interior design. The pop art style brings an exciting and arrestingly harmonious atmosphere that invites customers to embark on a fascinating tour. The combination of ancient Japanese architecture on the walls with modern and vibrant colors creates a unique character that is both visually stunning and culturally rich.
The design team utilized spotlights strategically to create intervals of visionary scenes, allowing customers to feel as though they are traveling through time. The artistic feature wall, reminiscent of a time tunnel, adds to the immersive experience, giving diners the sensation of snooping through different eras. The thin timber ceiling, with its post-modern architectural beauty, completes the illusion of a sky surrounding the tunnel.
Despite the challenges posed by the short headroom and the shared entrance with another Japanese restaurant next door, the Onyasai Festival Walk has managed to captivate diners with its unique design. The collapsed column at the entrance catches the eyes of customers, drawing them into the restaurant and setting the stage for the extraordinary experience that awaits them inside.
The design of the Onyasai Festival Walk is not only visually stunning but also functional. People inside the restaurant truly feel as though they are time traveling, immersing themselves in the atmosphere and narrative created by the design. This innovative approach has not only shocked the market players but has also raised the bar for design quality and thinking in the industry.
The Onyasai Festival Walk is located in Hong Kong and was completed in 2017. The design team, led by Vincent Chi-wai Chiang, conducted extensive research on traditional Japanese architecture and modern design trends to create this surreal dining experience. The result is a restaurant that stands out among its competitors and offers customers an unforgettable journey through time.
The Onyasai Festival Walk was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2018 for its well-designed, practical, and innovative approach. This prestigious award recognizes creations that meet professional and industrial requirements while also providing fulfillment and positive feelings to customers. The Onyasai Festival Walk truly contributes to a better world through its unique and immersive design.
