Cafés and Bars

Cafés and bars are booming throughout cities in China. No matter renovations or newly built ones, they are often designed to appear international, with modern design approaches usually adopted by designers in the West. Yet elements revealing the Chinese genes can be found, interpreted in contemporary ways to tell the story of rejuvenation of an ancient civilisation in design. The book selected 27 projects to showcase the latest interior designs of cafés and bars in China. The 17 cafés and 10 bars will lead you to learn about the practices of architects and interior designers in China and their design stories.
