Located at the top of I.M. Pei’s Macau Science Center stands Le Lapin — a modern, quirky French eatery designed by interior design firm, Wilson Associates. The restaurant’s design and branding are influenced by the owner’s Chinese Zodiac, the rabbit, and the space’s circular shape, resembling the moon. Le Lapin marries French and Chinese elements, blending the universal language of art, fable, poetry, and cuisine. French lithograph characters Monsieur Rabbit and Mr. Fox are referenced throughout the space. The narratives of Jules Verne’s “From the Earth to the Moon” and the Chinese Moon Rabbit come to life through bespoke artwork, bathroom details, and furniture pieces that evoke a whimsical, fairytale glamour. The moon comes to life through the 16-meter-tall wine cellar, which features a lunar projection of LED lights, mimicking a starry night against the dark finishes. The design team developed a strong brand identity for the dining destination— a full circle approach to the creation of a rich story told at Le Lapin.
