Linger On

Focusing on the market of night life for high-end customers, the interior design of this restaurant integrates the visual identity from the store front, counter, walls to the utensils. Applying various materials, geometrical shapes, and precise lighting to interpret the image of hopot’s steam lingering upwards, the concept is integrated in the logo and the interior design language. When the heat meets the cold, the steam lingers in the space under the dim glow in the space, just like the ever-changing moments in life to be enjoyed any second.



The huge sign board on the storefront is supported by two classical columns. The dark color signboard contrasts with the white bright lights, making the multilayered streamline logo pop and drawing the attention of the customers easily during the nighttime. The flowing eaves under the signboard echoes perfectly with the logo. The matte granite wall on the left side is decorated by diverse geometrical shapes in arrangement with some light straps to attract customers for a photo after having a nice meal here.



In order to extend the spatial perception of the little space, the designer applies glossy fan shaped tile paving to create an intuitive flow that invites customers directly inside. The reflective ripple-shaped-patterned panel on the ceiling as well extends the depth of field inwards. The brick-red wall color, lines, and the use of dark-colored wooden material all contribute to a sense of gentleness that covers the space softly with its energy and passion. The translucent brown ceiling lamps glow in a warm light, reflecting on the glossy materials on the ceiling and the tile flooring.



At the back of the space, the special blue colored, hollowed-out brick walls divide the kitchen and the dining area. The lights cast glow on all types of materials used in the space, brightening up the rich dark color palette. The customers can thus focus on enjoying the dining experience where the steam rises up slowly from the pot while everyone unites surrounding the table.
