Pachapapi Peruvian restaurant
Location: Beijing, China
Completed: 2018
Total Space: 140m2
The inspiration for this Peruvian restaurant started with a chicha poster brought by one of the owners of the restaurant.
Chicha posters are one of the best known manifestations of Peruvian folk art. Originally used to advertise musical events, it has been revived by a new generation of artists and activists. Its bold fluorescent color palette pays homage to the Andean culture that gives the streets of Lima their identity.
This single element gave life to the whole restaurant concept design. The rest of the materials were kept more neutral, to be used simply as a background to display such a colorful art.
The space had 2 full bars; one a cocktail bar facing the corner by the entrance, to receive customers, and the other, a Nikkei sushi bar (Nikkei is a delicious combination of both Japanese and Peruvian ingredients) on a cozy area with a long counter for customers to experience the chef preparing the fresh sushi in front of them
Work in progress.....
