The Tasting Room French restaurant made much progress these few years. On top of having its menu refreshed by the new executive chef, its interior was refurbished as well. In the previous setting, what comes to the eyes is a dancing display of vivid blues and light yellow, woven together by a three dimensional netting of thick ropes. The impression was a space connected to maritime culture. Could it be a seaport at the south of the mediterranean?

What we designed for them are a suite of trolleys, what the French call gueridons. These include a cheese trolley, and other service trolleys with two heights. If the bluish and thick piled carpet is the sea, what better style for these trolleys than a style reminiscent of simple wooden boats? The clues were subtle, giving the guests more room for imagination.

We are pleased to find that even after the refurbishment of the restaurant the trolleys still fit seamlessly into the new mood - less oceanic and more plush. It shows how simple designs made well can stand the test of times.

御膳房
澳门皇冠度假酒店

 

 

御膳房高级法国餐厅这几年成就丰硕。除了新上任的行政总厨把菜单焕然一新外,其室内装潢也经过翻新升级。在起初的空间,进入眼帘的是蓝色与黄色的交错起舞色调,与立体编织的大型绳索装饰融为一体。感受到的是一个有丰富海洋历史的地方。这会否是地中海南部某个海港?

 

我们当时给他们设计了一系列服务小车,就是法国人称之为 gueridon 的器具。这包括一辆起司服务车,和两种不同高度的其他服务车。如果色彩斑斓的极厚地毯是海洋的话,有什么比木船更适合作为服务小车的主题?特征的联系是隐约的,让客人尽情发挥想像力。

 

我们欣喜尽管餐厅的装潢经过修改,但服务小车同样配合全新打造的气氛 - 少了海洋味道而增加了华丽感。这正好说明简单大气的设计历久常新。

The client was pleasantly surprised with the solid built and sturdiness of the trolleys, even after years of use everyday. When one sees the naked trolley body, with all the substantial wooden frames and interlocking structure, it is not hard to know the reason. 

Even the finish is a major endeavour. One of the photos show our craftsman patching (wood pore filling) the underside of a drawer constructed purely of thick solid wood boards, which for contract furniture is usually just a piece of thin plywood at best applied with a thick chemical lacquer, or worst is unfinished.

御膳房的餐厅经理对已经使用多年的服务车仍然坚固如新感到惊奇。其实如果看到服务车整个结构布局和互相扣紧的部件的话就不难理解原因了。

就连涂漆也是严谨之作。以下的其中一张照片看到我们的公丈用漆灰填充抽屉实木底板底面的木材天然孔眼。对于一般的装修工程家具那大多只是一面贴有木皮的夹板,被粗糙的化学涂漆物料覆盖;更差的是光素而没有任何涂漆。
