Yue
Yue is a restaurant interior located in Hsinchu City, Taiwan. The design applies the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic, which values modesty and rustic simplicity. Dark-colored surfaces, mellow wooden gratings and large curved forms create a calm and stable atmosphere under a warm glow. Large floor-to-ceiling windows bring natural light inside. Partition walls are removed to give open sight lines. The 232 square meter space holds a reception counter, a seating area and private rooms. Hand-applied materials give rustic textures, and wood is combined with metal.
Yue Restaurant by Toby Lin has been identified as a creative example of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Yue Restaurant earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2023. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design accolade which recognizes outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
