Interviews with Shang Cai

The main focus of the design is the embodiment of the cloud. I want to use light and substance to see the shape of the cloud, not just the media image.

We try to build such restaurants in diffrent cities in China and all over the world, to achieve the local cultural temperament, in our unique way of using sound and light.

About 2 months.

I think my idea is a good way to fullfill the client's desire of buiding a representative restaurant in the city.

I own the intellectual property rights.

Based on my previous experience in stage art design, I tried to break the barriers of dance design and soft design to make the space more stage and ritual.

The expression of divinity in the works of Tadao Ando is my favorite.

People with good aesthetics and high budget.

The dynamic and variable dance technology makes this space full of vitality and magic, surprising everyone who walks into this space.

The name derives from ancient Chinese poetry, which describes a goddess' beauty as the moon. The homonym Yunxi of this word represents the aggregation of clouds.

Computer hand-painted board is the most useful tool.

The most unique thing is that all the devices on this site can change the position and color to create different effects. I once hosted a dinner for the most famous dancer in China, and allocated her unique peacock-themed lighting.

I designed it independently.

We used MA2's lighting console, digitally controlled fans, digitally controlled lifting equipment and a large number of lighting systems.

The big challenge is how to balance the spatial difference between the naked eye and the photographic equipment, so that both are aesthetically pleasing, so I spent a lot of time in the selection and debugging of the lighting.

By a frend's recommendation.

I have learned a lot, such as how to find a balance between the dynamic and static of the space.

The main focus of the design is how to express the texture of jade. This is a material perception between liquidity and solidity. We still insist on expressing solidity with solids instead of two-dimensional pictures.

Chinese traditional culture is very interesting. We have been trying to express this culture in new ways. This is the case with this project, and it will be the same in the future.

About 1 month.

This is one of the two projects commissioned by the client. The other one is based on the culture of Tang Dynasty in China, and this one is based on the culture of Song Dynasty in China.

I have independent intellectual property rights.

Cross-border combination of stage art and soft art.

Tadao Ando and Gaudi.

Customers with good aesthetics and high budget.

I focus on alternative expressions about Chinese culture,no longer the traditional high-saturated color and figurative elements.It maks the whole space more abstract.

The name means the pictures of cloud, like the freezing of a cloud flowing in the air. It is the redefinition of jade in my heart.

Sketch Master.

The translucent material of the entire space is the most special part of this project.There is dynamic light and shadow flowing, which makes the scene ranslucent and opaque, just like the color and texture of jade in different light. We call it congee in Chinese.

I designed independently.

DMX CNC light strip is the core of technology, it realized the change of liquid-like texture of solid materials.

The time is very tight, we completed all the design work in one month.

By a friend's recommendation.

The proper use of diffrent materials is my greatest achievement.
