Japanese Lounge at Base Anfu by Red Design

Japanese Lounge is a high end, Japanese private dining and lounge located at the heart of the Former French Concession targeting a luxurious hotel dining experience. The design is a minimal and refined concept based on traditional Japanese design elements and details. Heavily researched Japanese interior principles and techniques have formed a simple, modern and respectful interior space. Following Wabi-Sabi principles, raw natural materials such as stone and rich wood play off subtle, elegant fabrics to create a timeless interior experience rooted in Japanese traditions. More

A rich combination of classic modern western furniture pieces and Japanese detailing create a unique dining atmosphere not seen in Shanghai to date. More
