Daxiang Design Studio Unveils New Restaurant

Daxiang Design Studio unveils its latest project, Kylin Sheng, a restaurant located in Zhengzhou, China. Upon entering the restaurant, a play of light and shadow creates an immersive experience. Stark contrasts take centre stage, beginning in the hallway. Within this dimly lit space, a colossal cloud formation emerges as a focal, ensuring warm, gentle lighting permeates through the narrow corridor. Together, clouds and light set the tone for the entire atmosphere. Two kylin sculptures are strategically placed in the hallway to complete the composition.

By depicting dynamic cloud characteristics, the firm showcases nature’s essence while transforming intangible elements into tangible structures that reflect their intention behind workstation design – evoking imagery of rising clouds. Additionally, garden framing techniques are employed on functional windows to further enhance aesthetics.

The design team, comprising of Jiang Jianyu, Yu Huaming, Lou Ting, Liu Yongliang, Jin Jiayu, Qin Yue, Zhang Hanjie, incorporates a five-petaled plum blossom as a fundamental motif, generating framed landscapes, lamps, utensils, tableware, and floor coverings, along with other installations to accentuate the ambiance.

The rest area exudes a warm autumn atmosphere through the use of dark grey natural textured stone, a wooden tea table, vermilion cloth tea stools adorned with decorative paintings depicting rosy sunrises, and an accompanying flickering fire within the stove. Furthermore, the outdoor resting platform seamlessly connects to the secondary entrance. As night descends, plum blossom motifs and arc elements outline both light sources and scenery alike, enabling individuals to fully immerse fully in an quintessential air.
