Shanghai Hip-pop Design Team designed this stunning high-end Japanese restaurant located in Shanghai, China. Pink glass panels embellished with sakura petals and dewdrops divide the space into seperate dining units. The Tatami room is held in gold and contrasts the rest of the interior. Take a look at the complete story after the jump.
From the architects: “Whether a kaiseki cuisine is attractive is just determined at the moment when one entering the door.” Said Mr. Sun Tianwen, the Design Director of Shanghai Hip-pop Design team.
Inspired by the love story of Sakura rain, the design of Omakase erased the sadness of story without a trace. It broke some preconceived traditional ideas and challenged the widely accepted standard of behavior. Started with the design concept of Sakura and dew, the Sakura petals and dewdrops are combined in the glass partition in a creative way, achieving a virtual-real synthesis and crystal-clear decorative effects. At the same time, the boundless pink Sakura is in contrast with the golden Tatami room, as if one entered a Sakura labyrinth. With the dynamic lighting, the blooming Sakura and exquisitely carved dewdrops make a feast of Sakura. Such a poetic environment seized the heart of a maiden.
The entire space is just like a freehand brushwork painting, in which every dinner becomes a part of the scenery. While enjoying the food, who will not be pleasant and contented in the beauty?
