Laodian Shanzhai
Laodian Shanzhai is a restaurant interior design located in Kunming, China. The project covers 1700 square meters and presents the food culture of the ethnic minorities of Yunnan. Traditional Chinese lanterns in varied forms set the atmosphere of the whole space. Dyed yarn and ethnic fabrics are combined with references to terraced fields, a central fire pit, windmills and an ancient well. Bright colors and a careful use of light and shadow give the interior a fresh and elegant character. The aim is to bring regional tradition to a younger audience.
