Time of Design: 2002-2004

This is a chain operational western café. The owner requires style of Shanghai. But it is hard to define this style. Someone says that Shanghai is a café, which includes coffee, tea, Pepsi, beefsteak, Indonesian fried rice and noodle with poached eggs. Technically speaking, Shanghai likes a aimless cultural smelter.

According to common understandings, the style of Shanghai is its style in the 30s and 40s of 20th century. But the time passed. Nowadays, Shanghai stands in an era that ancient, modern, eastern and western cultures meet together again. Therefore, the designer considers the process of melting is the process of presenting the character.

At last, the designer is asking the style of Shanghai to audiences while answering the answer.
