Charbon by Paul Pairet

Charbon is a new restaurant opened by the three Michelin stars chef Paul Pairet in the iapm mall, Shanghai. Charbon is a French word that means "charcoal grill" and the restaurant features an open charcoal fire and sizzling skewers.
The key to operating a successful restaurant lies in the precise positioning of its customers. On this premise, various delicate dishes match with space decorations to create complete and perceivable sentimental experiences for patrons.
Following the concept that design arouses human sentiments naturally, JYDP completed their new project Charbon, a French charcoal grill restaurant in Shanghai.
As a result, JYDP avoided complicated design expressions and envisioned the space in a retreated method. By excavating the commercial value of the restaurant from the perspective of operators and feeling the comforts of space from the perspective of consumers, JYDP followed the features of French charcoal grilling and adopted the imagery of five elements to create restrained and peaceful dining vibes through subdued light and shadow, natural grain and metal texture.
