We worked in conjunction with the three Michelin-starred chef Paul Pairet to create the latest concept in IFC, Roodoodoo. Located in the heart of Shanghai, this building is a central focal point in Lujiazui for business people, shoppers and tourists alike. The concept is a true all-day experience that transitions from breakfast to evening.
“When it comes to defining the interiors for Roodoodoo’s we call it Retro Sleek – inspired by the 1950’s American diners, industrial detailing and mid-century design. A focus on creating a minimal, sophisticated, and sleek design that is an “all-day-everyday” gathering place.”
One of the main materials we were keen to explore is the use of galvanized steel, to form shelving, lighting, and furniture detailing which is often set against a grey /black neutral background. Located amongst the skyscrapers of Lujiazui, we took reference from the sleek reflective materiality of the urban environment through, reflective surfaces, concrete counter tops, metallic color ceiling, and rectilinear geometric forms throughout space.
