Located in the headquarters of Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the Belt and Road Initiative Themed Restaurant of The Beijing Parade project presents a flourishing Tang Dynasty landscape with majestic, grand, vigorous and romantic elements in a highly abstract way.
For example, some Tang-style lamps and furnishings are placed under a clump of bamboo, creating an agreeable and cozy atmosphere similar to that for night revels of people in the Tang Dynasty.
This project is dominated by the private rooms and corridors, with no lobby. At the antehall, the designer elaborately showcases the unparalleled prosperity and splendor of the Tang Dynasty in its heyday, with axe-split stone and old copper logo, red shelves, original stone tea table, red wine racks, large floral decorations.
The corridor is embellished with red woven warp and weft. The space is featured by concise and refined style, but reveals an ingeniously subtle clue and metaphor of those brilliant achievements of the Silk Road, which is a reinterpretation of the historical nodes of the great international exchanges.
Such a resplendent and harmonious sight incisively and vividly presents the grandness of the glorious age of Tang Dynasty.
