Hai Shang embarks on a culinary journey at The MixC Shenzhen, seamlessly blending the rich heritage of Chaoshan cuisine with the profound Chaozhou culture. This project breaks down the boundaries between gastronomy and space through a thoughtfully crafted spatial layout and artistic decor, creating a poetic dining experience amidst the city’s hustle and bustle.
The design emphasizes a multi-sensory experience, engaging five senses to forge an emotional connection between patrons, cuisine, and culture. As guests savor the exquisite dishes, they are enveloped in the comfort and warmth of the space, deepening their resonance with Chaozhou culture.
Upon entering the restaurant, guests are immediately greeted by the evocative charms of mountain breezes and ocean waves. A sea-inspired screen at the entrance, adorned with dynamic wave patterns symbolizing the grandeur and fluidity of water, instantly immerses them in a maritime ambiance. This screen not only serves as a stunning visual centerpiece but also cleverly divides the space, enhancing its depth and layering.
The dining area is spacious and bright. A carefully arranged array of pendant lights creates a visual effect reminiscent of undulating clouds and waves, echoing the screen’s wave motifs and giving guests the sensation of being amidst the sea. Here, patrons not only savor authentic Chaozhou cuisine but also experience the unique allure of Chaozhou culture, engaging in profound interaction between people, food, and culture.
