Ministry Of Crab, Chengdu

The design of the bar focused on concepts.  Ministry Of Crab wanted to create a free and trendy place that is also special and memorable on Jiaozi Avenue. They have incorporated the wings of the archangel that support the entire first storey and make it the focal point. The specially designed illumination makes the wings come alive, which seem about to take flight, and adds to the bar’s versatility and dramatic tension. As the restaurant is on the first storey, it enjoys plenty of natural light and a good view of the Twin Towers, we decided not to block the view with any additional elements. Instead, we focused on creating a shell-shaped ceiling, which is decorated with a stand-alone illumination device. The entire ceiling is lit up and the exterior appears translucent and exquisite, making BOX·MOC stand out on Jiaozi Avenue.”
