  • Client brief Designer Chris Shao, has created a contemporary space of flowing lines and gentle curves, integrated with an elegant palette of off-white colors and materials. The restaurant, located within a prestigious photography museum, overlooks a garden populated by live swans, where guests can enjoy an outdoor drink. The interior takes the form of the swan and adapts it to shape the different rooms to varying levels of abstraction. Subtle shades of stone, plaster, velvet, and metal provide a refined ambience, while the curved walls, ceiling panels, and light fixtures present a sense of fluid movement from one space to the next.
