The design of Abrazo Bistro is inspired by the LOFT-style embellishments that imaginatively exemplify an extravagant lifestyle in Taipei. The ground floor of the bistro serves as the cooking and dining areas, while the B1 level functions as a bar and booth area, catering to gourmets in the daytime and bartending liquors at night. The indoor space, decorated based on humanity concepts, offers multiple vistas and visual perspectives, making it a unique dining experience.
Abrazo Bistro stands out for its use of vintage-style furniture that reveals an intriguing European ambience. The retro-style marble mosaics diffusing the LOFT features highlight the elegant textures of the space. The columns, coated with genuine paints, further strengthen the vintage charms of the bistro. The space spans 331 square meters, providing ample room for patrons to enjoy their meals and drinks.
The design process of Abrazo Bistro involved innovative experiments to reinforce the uniqueness and originality of the design work. The applications of decoration materials strike a balance between aesthetic compositions and environmental protections. The design also integrates technology and lifestyle, demonstrating the diverse tangible and intangible values of the bistro.
One of the challenges in designing Abrazo Bistro was the application of Japanese red coppers on the walls and columns. The physics reaction of red copper oxidation brings into existence the classic charisma of the space. The seats are furnished with hooks and USB charging sockets, adding a thoughtful touch to the design. The floors, ornamented with construction works and paints, add to the captivating appeal of the bistro.
The design of Abrazo Bistro is a testament to Millton Yu's creativity and expertise in interior design. The bistro, serving both food and drinks, wonderfully symbolizes the fascinating urban life in Taipei. This design, which was awarded Silver in A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2019, showcases a remarkable level of excellence and introduces positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
