We described the design language as “Retro Sleek”: a mix of 1950s American diner references, industrial detailing and mid-century forms. Galvanized steel appears in shelving, lighting and furniture details, set against darker neutral tones, concrete counters, reflective surfaces and a metallic ceiling that echo the material character of Lujiazui. Those harder, more mechanical elements are softened with French references including the motif ceiling and black-and-cream ceramic tiles, together with pastel colour, warm timber, rounded cabinet fronts and an eclectic mix of furniture. The balance between polished and familiar became central to the space.
