When Street Food inspires Design
Typically sold from outdoor stands, noodles are a very popular dish on the streets of Chinese cities. A restaurant chain, however, has decided to restore this dish to its former glory by making it the centrepiece of its interior design.
The Noodle Rack is located on a commercial street alongside the Xiangjiang river in Changsha in China. Determined to create a modern and chic interior, the restaurant owners chose to work with Lukstudio, founded by Christina Luk, an architect of Canadian origin based in Shanghai.
A mysterious storefront arousing curiosity
The architect thus decided to integrate the tradition of Chinese noodle making into the heart of the design of the dining area. However, upon entering, nothing prepares you for the surprise you are about to find. The window appears to made from bamboo and two metal openings greet the customer. These three elements (the wall and two openings) invite passers-by to venture inside for a journey of discovery.
An interior that blends street food culture with high quality
The entrance steers customers towards a bar and room with a high ceiling. They will dine in a space surrounded by a metal grid structure into which wooden boxes are inserted showcasing Chinese porcelain as testament to the region’s historical and cultural heritage.
Lastly, the centrepiece of the design is a series of metal wires suspended between the frame’s metal rods with hanging bulbs randomly positioned to create the lighting. This gives customers the feeling of dining under a noodle rack. Finally, as the restaurant is only small (approximately 50 m2), this work of art can be admired from wherever you happen to be sitting!
We love the idea of a design based on everyday objects. What do you think?
