Bringing in the Wine

Bars, which are traced back to the western culture, are normally decorated with the dark colors. The bar named by its owner in Chinese classical poetry signifies its unique and cultural features of space. The bar interior design, therefore, is based on the cultural and architectural elements that surprise people by using the plenty of Chinese classical factors, furniture, spatial colors and vermilion, which is the signature color in China. In this interior design project, we recycled and refurbished the vintage Chinese-style vermilion doors, widow grills and wood double doors that harmoniously integrate the contemporary, classical, eastern and western elements in the bar space.



The vintage vermilion doors and the Chinese poetic words “Bringing in the Wine” decorated at the entrance imply the cultural feature of space. The rough and motley textures of the front entrance create the fine and enchanting imagery. The ancient Chinese window grills are comprehensively decorated in the bar, the consistent design style creating the bright and undisturbed indoor space. The indoor space has four different layouts that consist of the bar counter for few people and the booths for more customers. The Turkish blue bar stools and the reddish purple booth seats moderately decorated in the bar manifest the vivid, fashionable and clean charms. The green lantern-style ceiling lamps accentuate the uniqueness in the Chinese classical charisma.



The cabinets at the bar area are decorated with the Chinese-style window grills and the linear yellow lights, both of which generate the different visual sense. The yellow lights glowing in the dark space are eye-catching. The small booth seats hand-embellished with the low-chroma paints spawn the strong contrasts between brightness and darkness, and between the luxury and plainness. The bar interior design creates for the modern people a quiet place where people can go back in time at any moment.
