Dining Time
Restaurant for NFID Interior Design
In the blue waiting booth, a gentleman in a suit is looking down at the elegant watch on his wrist while for his beloved. Culture stone is like a camel-colored shoe, and the metal lines show luxury. The beautiful lady went to the appointment as scheduled, and the two of them chose a window seat to share a romantic dinner under the halo of warm yellow light. Stepping into the second floor is a gentleman's invitation again. The design is still symbolic of the gentleman's orderly manners, and the gray, black, and white surrounding the two of them are a sweet atmosphere.

Unique Properties
The design is derived from a gentleman watch, and the blue and gold create an elegant taste while the cultural stone and trim convey a vintage and classic feeling. The wave panels on the wall and the inward contraction of the ceiling, the curved lines of the counter, and the mood lighting strips create a picture of an English gentleman waiting for his lady in the waiting booth and symbolize the waiting time for the checkout. The field is divided symmetrically, and the design team used corrugated plates of different densities and different styles of chandeliers to create an asymmetrical design.

Production Technology
The original concept was based on a purple and gold watch. Considering that the project is a dining space, if purple was matched with yellow light, it would visually turn gray and reduce the customer's appetite. Therefore, after a series of communication on the color, the client decided to use blue to create a gentlemanly style. To make the hot pot restaurant more modern, the design team used small details to create an exquisite design. For example, multimedia equipment and air-conditioning are hidden inside the ceiling, and the partition wall can cover the columns and present design consistency.
Design Challenge
The first is that the original condition of the house is not a square pattern. If the design team makes a straight-line design in the space, it will highlight the skew. To eliminate this visual discrepancy, the design team used the slanting method on the flooring to give the space a square visual impression, and the actual angle and hemming method required more measurement and communication.
Project Duration
The project finished in September 2021 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The name (Dining Time), is derived from a watch, a scene, and a gentleman waiting for his lady. In the 357-square-meter space, the design team used colors, lines, and materials to create the impression of an elegant gentleman on the ground floor. The second floor continues the gentleman freshness, elegance, and brightness to present a comfortable dining space, and is also a blessing from the design team, hoping that customers can share a good time.
Research
On the ground floor, the design and style of the watches are used to create a dining space for gentlemen to wait for their ladies, while on the second floor, the story of the gentlemen invitation is continued to give the space a special meaning. The trim and rose gold lacquer present the elegance of a gentleman, and the high ceiling symbolizes the slender figure of a gentleman. The rhythmic corrugated plate is the rhythm of leather shoes, expecting a beautiful woman to go on an appointment.
Inspiration
The design concept started with a male watch, the design team extracted the gentlemanly lines and elegant color on the watch and combined it with the dining space, presenting a unique atmosphere of a European vintage restaurant. Different from the impression of chaotic hot pot restaurants, the first and second floors are clean, fresh, and bright, which is suitable for customers to enjoy a good time with their beloved or loved ones.
