Inflorescence
Inflorescence is a restaurant interior located in Taichung City, Taiwan. The design creates a calm setting inspired by a distressed garden. A bamboo path leads guests from the entrance to a wooden aisle, where distant mountains and a garden landscape can be seen. Recycled wood, bamboo, large stones and vintage furniture form the main materials. Wooden parts are joined with a traditional mortise and tenon method, so very few iron nails are needed. Walls are finished with a rough surface texture. Guests are first welcomed in a tearoom and then guided to the dining areas.
Inflorescence Commercial Space by Chih-Chiang Chang was featured as an exceptional example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Inflorescence Commercial Space won the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design competition that rewards superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
