Knot Knot
Knot Knot is a Japanese and western dessert and cake cafe in Guangzhou, China, with an interior of 1400 square feet. The design is inspired by surreal art and turns the cafe into a small art gallery. Italian turquoise handmade tiles and a dark walnut doorframe mark the open entrance, which leads to the cake display area and a marble bar. Classic frames with paintings, woodcarving details, arch windows, two Roman columns and a chandelier are used throughout. Two metal flower racks bring outdoor planting inside. A mirror at the end of the space creates repeated reflections.
Knot Knot Restaurant and Cafe by Vincent Chi-Wai Chiang was highlighted as a grand example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Knot Knot Restaurant and Cafe received the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design prize that celebrates excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
