在旧法租界的某个安静的角落，一家餐厅，躲在公园后面，前面绿树丛丛。餐厅里布置了艺术品和手工工艺品，它们是其主人在亚洲旅行时一路收集的。主人要求保留原有建筑的完整性，改造一楼使其营造出一个好的晚餐氛围, 同时还引导客人到楼上去。

吧台后面数目众多的高镜子，它们反射出天花上面的艺术画。 这个长长的吧台上装饰着有浓浓的少数民族情调的传统手工编织的布料，也向客人暗示后面通往二楼的楼梯。在走廊尽头有一个窗子，能看到外面的公园，这里布置了一张共享桌，一大群可能互不认识的人可以在这里共进晚餐甚至互相认识。

Hidden behind a park under canopies of trees in the quiet part of the Former French Concession area, the restaurant houses art pieces and handmade crafts that the owner collected over the course of her travels in Asia. Our intention was to display the owner’s interest in arts and traditional culture in a contemporary context while providing a better entry and dining experience.

Numerous tall mirrors, located behind the bar counter, reflected the bold art piece across the high ceiling space. The long linear bar counter, which finished with traditional handwoven ethnic minority fabrics, guided the customers to the staircase. We placed a communal table under the high window, allowed diners to enjoy the view of the park in their good companies of friends and family.

分享一个小故事

我们花了不少时间与一名姓史的女士沟通，她是一名中国少数民族传统手工艺纺织者。在他们传统观念里，材质光泽度越高则代表了位高权重。每一户家编织的布都会由于编织，染色及搅拌而使得成品略有所不同。史女士非常感谢我们使用他们的手工艺纺织品，她说：“有了这么一个机会，她就可以开始说服其他人留在村里谋生，而不用到大城市里漂泊。”

Sharing of personal story

We worked closely with Mrs Shi, a Chinese ethnic minority villager who hand weaves traditional ethnic fabrics. The shininess of their traditional garments represents the wealth and importance of each family. Each household hand weaves, dyes and beats the fabrics slightly differently from one another. At the end, Mrs Shi thanked us for using their fabrics and said, “With this project and opportunity, I could try to convince others to stay and work in their village instead of migrating to urban cities.”
