K okaistudios在2015-2016期間完成了CiaoChow餐廳的室內設計。這是一間位于蘭桂坊加州大廈的意大利餐廳,很快成為香港熱門餐飲目的地。Kokaistudios持續在亞洲以定制式的室內設計傳播自身的設計理念。該項目是其在城中的最新項目。香港領先的餐飲集團Bite在蘭桂坊集團的推薦下找到了Kokaistudios, 希望Kokaistudios利用自身的意大利背景和豐富的餐飲項目設計經驗來設計這一餐廳。

Kokaistudios決定設置兩個大型銅磚披薩烤箱,使 Ciao Chow成為香港唯一一個獲得“Verace Pizza Napoletana”認證的餐廳;工業風格的銅金屬質感照明系統延伸于整個餐廳并在入口處有大型吊燈畫龍點睛。餐廳內一方面使用了質樸的工業風金屬材料和由地面延伸至墻面的水磨石,另一方面將高檔的白色大理石運用于廚師工 作臺以及使用了皮質柔軟的座椅。二者形成了材質上的對比。宴會風格的座椅擺放方式鼓勵了食物的分享,是意餐與香港餐飲文化融合的表現。吧臺區靠近入口,設有24個生啤龍頭和提供由調酒大師Douglas Williams設計的意大利雞尾酒酒單上的飲品。入口處的拉門臨人群川流的街道敞開,展現出歡迎的姿態。Ciao Chow已經迅速成為香港最受歡迎的餐廳之一,也是Kokaistudios又一定制化服務的典范。

Kokaistudios has completed the interior design of Ciao Chow, an innovative Italian Cafeteria in Lan Kwai Fong Group’s California Tower in Central,a destination quickly becoming Hong Kong’s hottest dining hub. The restaurant is Kokaistudios’latest project in the city as they continue to spread their footprint with bespoke and iconic hospitality designs in Asia. The Bite Group, a leading Hong Kong F&B Group, approached Kokaistudios based on the recommendation of the Lan Kwai Fung Group and chose to work with us due to our experience of designing top F&B locations across China; our Italian background and our collaborative approach to develop new dining concepts.

Kokaistudios decided on making the 2 large copper and brick pizza ovens; key elements in making Ciao Chow the only “Verace Pizza Napoletana” certified restaurant in Hong Kong;the core of the project and they formed the starting point for the system of industrial style copper lighting display system that extends throughout the restaurant and finishes in the large light installation at the entrance. The industrial metal materials and terrazzo fiooring that extends up the walls contrast with the softer more precious materials including the white marble chef’s working stations and the leather backed banquette style seating systems designed speci fically to encourage a food concept that emphasizes sharing dishes that is both typical of the Italian cuisine and perfectly adapted to Hong Kong’s food culture. The extensive bar; featuring 24 taps of draft beers and an Italian cocktail menu curated by Master Mixologist, Douglas Williams;is located close to the restaurant’s entrance which is composed of a series of sliding doors that are largely left completely open thus creating a welcoming alfresco drinking and dining experience in one of the busiest corners of the city. Ciao Chow has grown into one of the top restaurants in Lan Kwai Fung and stands as another successful example of Kokaistudios flexible design approach and focus on creating destinations tailor made to our client’s needs.
