Deck·Fujian cuisine Bistro&bar, located in Shanghai’s historic Shamei Building, features a unique design that blends industrial and Art Deco elements, creating a space that is both stylish and nostalgic. The restaurant’s design team, Kuanpin Design Consultants, used a strong black and white contrast and spatial detail changes to allude to different historical moments, creating a multi-dimensional spatial sequence. The result is a space that is both sophisticated and intriguing.
Nestled within the first floor of the Shamei Building on Shanghai’s Bund, DECK, a new restaurant, makes its presence known. The building, a testament to a century of history, bears witness to the dramatic interplay of renovation and time’s passage within its walls. A harmonious coexistence of broken, time-worn bricks and tiles and meticulously crafted inlaid wooden wall panels, the building stands as a prime example of Baroque neoclassicism. Upon this spatial foundation, the design unfolds, using “parallel time and space” as its creative fulcrum.
