About 4000 Light Restaurant

4000 Light is a hot pot restaurant interior designed for young customers. Light is used as the core design element of the space. Different light sources and specular reflection materials create reflection and refraction effects on carefully shaped surfaces. An image interaction technology adds changing visual effects. Three focal areas, named the art hall, the wormhole and the time channel, organize the plan. The interior covers 1000 square meters. Light and shade replace building materials as the main space-forming elements, so visitors interact with the surrounding environment.

About the Golden A' Design Award

4000 Light Restaurant is a Golden A' Design Award winner, an immensely prestigious recognition granted to first-rate, marvelous, and outstanding designs. Golden winners are exceedingly innovative, visionary, and glamorously dazzling creations that reflect the prodigy, wisdom, and prowess of their designers. 4000 Light Restaurant is expected to be a highly praised, trendsetting, and monumental invention that delivers unprecedented value. This Golden A' Design Award-winning design is a spectacular, respected project that highly benefits and advances the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology. 4000 Light Restaurant creates intense feelings of desire, evokes passion, encourages creativity, and fascinates us.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: This project is a fashionable hot pot restaurant serving young people.
The designer chose light as the core design element, using the different light sources and a large number of specular reflection materials to create light reflection and refraction effects on the carefully designed surface shape, combined with its own property rights of YINI IP image interaction technology to create vivid visual changes and let clients experience a very novel space experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: The interior area for the project is 1000 square meters.
Tags: Interior design, creative design, the future of fashion, avant-garde art, parallel world, cool space, cool hot pot
Production Technology: Firstly, this project has three visual focus on the space design, applying the design elements of light and shade to form the spatial characteristics of the project.They are respectively art hall,wormhole and time channel.
Secondly, the restaurant business indicators are as follows, number of meals: 255; kitchen area: 14%.
Thirdly, ambient air index: the emission standard after soot purification is less than 1.0mg/m3, and the space air volume is updated by 100000m3/h.
Design Challenge: In this project, light and shade are used as space construction elements. How to balance and integrate light and shade technology with artistic effects is the challenge of this project.
Take the "wormhole" as an example. It is technically necessary to control the rendering effect of the projected picture on the curved wall. In terms of art, it is necessary to consider the production of image content, so as to create a strong and attractive interaction effect between the experiencer and the image.
Research: Restaurant design
Interaction between people and space
Design and construction of special-shaped wall structure
Process research on special shape, curve and specular reflection
Study on the reflection effect of mirror material and lacquer material
Digital projection and human interaction
Effect control of digital projection on curved walls.
Inspiration: Light and shade in the space and interaction between light and people are inspiration of the project.
The designer conducted an in-depth research on the process of special shape, curve and specular reflection, spent time studying digital image projection technology, and developed YINI IP image interaction technology. Unique visual effect and highly personalized interactive experience can be created in the business space with small cost to let client have a new spatial experience when they arrive
Project Duration: Project Location: Taiguli Business District, Xiadong Avenue Section, Dongdajie, Jinjiang District, Chengdu
Project Duration:
The project design started in June 2018. From August 2018 to March 2019, the decoration and construction began.
Operation Flow: In space design, the relationship between man and art is one-way most of the time. The designer of the project breaks through the barrier of constructing space with building materials as the main body, and introduces light and shade as the space construction elements, breaking the boundary between human and space materials to let a person's behavior affect visual changes of the entire space and allow users to experience the integration and interaction of the self and the surrounding environment.
