The Challenge
Balancing intimacy with drama. We had to design spaces that feel cozy (ideal for relaxed conversations) without losing the building’s sense of scale. Unexpected fabrics, sleek custom joinery, built-in planting, and layered lighting were critical in grounding each table in warmth.
What We Loved
The way soft curves, plush textiles, and jewel-toned palettes infuse the space with a graceful, feminine energy, balanced by bold contrasts of light and shadow. Surfaces catch the light with intention creating a seductive and sincere atmosphere.
Secret Detail
Not very secret, but our favorite detail. A bespoke copper-toned canopy studded with feather-like light fixtures, an ode to Shenzhen’s flora and a whisper of whimsy drama.

"CRAFT Design delivers one-of-a-kind designs but also excavates the very soul of a brand and its founder, weaving that essence directly into their work. As a result, the design brings additional value to the business and its customers. They bring more than design—it is a tangible manifestation of the client and the enterprise itself. They don't merely express brand value; they endow the brand with soul and added worth. In my experience, they are the finest designers—and design—there is."
