Chinese firm lukstudio draws on the original noodle rack concept for their interior design at the ‘longxiaobao’ flagship restaurant in beijing. utilizing a consistent palette of exposed concrete wall, corroded steel frames, wooden tables and display boxes; three dining atmospheres were formulated.
Based on preference, diners can choose between various experiences. a canteen-style room with rows of long tables, is oriented towards white collars and guests without hours to spend eating. the next space offers banquette style seating with deep-set display boxes filled with chinese décor. this serves those looking for a relaxed evening with plenty of time to savor their meals.
A third space, or ‘rack’ as referred to by lukstudio, allows guests to enjoy the visual anchor of the restaurant — the ‘noodle’ pendant. one special table, located at the base of the interior’s double-height atrium, sits directly beneath a complex network of noodle-like light installation. a stairwell wrapping around the framed table provides access to a private dining room on the second floor. the ‘longxiaobao’ flagship restaurant, designed by lukstudio design, is located in beijing, china.
