CHIC1699远洋私厨是2015年继左稻之后，和上食膳美合作的第二个餐厅品牌空间。从福建的厦门、福州、泉州，进入上海，再到杭州，三个省域各有三个版本。这些年品牌发展很好，在彼此守望共同生长的同时，我们也逐渐对项目内涵和空间理念有了新的观照。从最初时髦现代雅致的CHIC风格开始，进入对品牌本质性的思考。空间美学，在我看来绝不止于镜花水月的意境呈现，它更是某种理性而浪漫的哲学诠释。我们期待CHIC1699远洋私厨的审美是一种当下和未来同时生长的状态，潮流易逝风格永存，即使是在餐厅这样一个基本上五年左右就需要迭代的公共空间，它也具有某种沉着的美。为此我们把一切都做了极简化，符号化设计。初代就颇为壮观的玻璃长廊下观赏性水族厢，映照的是内心的万顷碧波；而通透无碍的琉璃雅舍，也不只是为了让每个角落的客人都能在最大程度上感受空间的层次变化递进，也更应和当今人们越来越开放且愿意共享的时代心态。在杭州万象城这样一个大尺度挑高而不规则空间里，我们在接手之初，有野心想超越原有的构想和路线。上食膳美的品牌矩阵里，有偏传统的左稻·水系料理以及代表官府菜馆的席作·福州会馆，CHIC1699远洋私厨连续5年上榜黑珍珠，成为出圈福建菜的代表之一，我们它所承托的不只是独具个性的品牌餐厅，更希望它有自己的先锋性和艺术性。在此我们更提炼了初代设计里作为细节的网格，寓意以「网NET」的概念作为贯穿杭州万象城这个空间的设计原点。福建八山一水一分田，靠山有山，靠海吃海，网即是功能性也具有审美性的所在，柔韧而强硬，既是自由也是禁锢，我们得鱼而忘荃，但人生围城又何尝不似荃之所在。金属质感的网状薄幕，与灯光技术的结合，让人想起海边的围网，灯光如同潮汐明灭间将人带入海之境。作为精致料理的空间体验室，我们希望为食客构筑出想象之外的另一种可能。
CHIC1699 is the second restaurant brand space after Z&D Cuisine in 2015, which cooperates with S.Gourmet. From Xiamen, Fuzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian to Shanghai and then to Hangzhou, there are three editions in each of the three provinces. In recent years, the brand has developed very well. While watching each other and growing together, we gradually have a new perspective on the connotation and space concept of the project. Starting from the fashionable, modern and elegant CHIC style at first, we began to think about the essence of the brand.Space aesthetics, in my opinion, is more than just the artistic conception of virtual and beautiful scenery, it is a rational and romantic philosophical interpretation. We expect the aesthetic of CHIC1699 to be a state of simultaneous growth of the present and the future. The trend is fleeting and the style will last forever. Even in a public space like a restaurant that basically needs to be iterated in about five years, it has some calm beauty. For this reason, we have made everything extremely simplified and symbolic.The ornamental aquarium under the glass corridor, which was quite spectacular in the early generation, reflects the boundless blue waves in the heart; The transparent glazed elegant house is not only for the guests in every corner to feel the progressive changes of space levels to the greatest extent, but also for the mentality of the times when people are more and more open and willing to share.In Hangzhou Vientiane City, a large-scale and irregular space, at the beginning of taking over, we had the ambition to surpass the original ideas and routes. In the brand matrix of S.Gourmet, there are the traditional Z&D water cuisine and Xizuo Fuzhou Guild Hall, which represents the official restaurant. CHIC1699 has been on the list of Black Pearl for five years in a row, and has become one of the representatives of Fujian cuisine. We hope that it has its own pioneering and artistic features, as well as its unique brand restaurant.Here, we have refined the grid as a detail in the original design, which means that the concept of "NET " is the design origin of this space running through Hangzhou Vientiane City. Fujian has mountains, water and fields. If you are close to the mountains, you will live on them. If you are close to the sea, you will live on the sea. The net is both functional and aesthetic, flexible and tough, and it is both freedom and imprisonment. We have fish and forget the bamboo utensils for fishing, but the siege of life is not like the bamboo utensils for fishing. The combination of metal mesh thin screen and lighting technology reminds people of the purse seine at the seaside, and the lights bring people into the sea like the tides. As a space experience room for exquisite cuisine, we hope to build another possibility beyond imagination for diners.
