Restaurant for Turandot

The designer reimagined traditional Chinese style by creating a modern and expressive design for this two-level restaurant. The space is built on a play of volumes and perspectives, with visual accents that guide the eye and add dynamic energy. Brass pipes serve as a unifying motif throughout the interior. The goal was to achieve lightness, visual depth, and comfort, avoiding direct references while preserving the atmosphere. It’s not a typical ethnic approach, but a design statement inspired by China.
