The.H

The.H is located in Xi'an, an ancient city with a long history and profound cultural context. It inherits the classic charm of the past, and meanwhile incorporates futuristic, avant-garde elements. Inspired by beer-brewing culture, SALONE DEL SALON adopted "sticks" as the medium of spatial narratives, and worked to create a distinctive bar & restaurant space with a unique ambience.
ZAO - Handmade craftsmanship
The spatial layout seems to be in disorder, but actually it is subtly arranged in a symmetrical yet staggered manner. Reasonable and smooth service circulation routes not only ensure the spatial order, but also improve guests' multi-sensory experiences. The design solutions and elaborate spatial organization show ingenuity both at macro and micro levels.
"Stick" & craft beer
Copper elements outline atmospheric expressions unique to beers. Complemented by lighting, the vertical red "sticks" become a visual highlight, producing a unique vibe.
No matter how "stick" is presented, visually or consciously, it carries a rich culture and links the past and future.
Fusion of retro and innovative elements
Inspired by Dior Fall 2021 Show, retro-style materials including green terrazzo, mosaic tile and thick brown leather popular in the 1960s are brought into the space, forming a classic spatial scene awash with the trace of the past. The specular and brushed stainless steel gives the space a dynamic rhythm and a futuristic touch.
The brown blocks, which show a unique texture, endow the space with tension, balance with different color shades, and create coherent visual effects.
The creases on the surface of the silver-hued sphere evoke a sense of time passing. Silently suspended under white lighting, the art installation features avant-garde color and planet-like shape, generating a "meditative" ambience with a futuristic feeling.
