TINO LEE is an oriental food restaurant that, through the use of iconography and symbolic elements, evokes an experience that transports you to the Asian continent. The design is inspired
by the ancient festival of lanterns in China, a celebration that brings families together to give thanks
and eat traditional stews together.
A characteristic feature that stands out in this restaurant is the use of various sources of light,
which is why the lamps on the walls and suspended from the ceiling create the illusion of having
a flame inside, filling the restaurant with warmth. While the SHOJI panels
illuminated inside by RGB LED lights allude to futuristic architecture, thus generating a
spectacle of colors in the space. The use of vases with aged details symbolizes the antiquity behind this culture and works
as an element that provides elegance and divides the row of seats, providing intimacy between
diners. The floors in TINO LEE are hexagonal paving stones painted in two colors that recreate
the path of a neighborhood and by changing color indicate the direction to the food bar.
