Hotshots, emerging designers to look out for in 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spacemen goes bold and experiential with landmarked Shanghai eatery Icha Chateau<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Midas Touch<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When deciding on a name for the firm he found in 2014, designer Edward Tan, now 31, went with\u00a0Spacemen<\/a>. He was always thinking about space, after all. But the futuristic reference also links to the firm\u2019s aesthetic: bold and experiential, particularly apparent in the studio\u2019s hos\u00adpitality projects. One such is Icha Chateau, a Western fusion restaurant and teahouse in Shanghai. Spacemen was challenged to create an eye-catching exterior but without adding so much as a nail to the brick facade\u2014the 19th-century former villa is landmarked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Edward\u2019s solution came in the form of brushed anodised brass. Inserted into one of the building\u2019s\u00a0colonial-era arches fronted by an existing window<\/span>\u00a0are strips of the metal moulded into a cage-like form and lined with LEDs. It serves to draw passersby into the bar inside. Additional brass panels frame the building\u2019s other archways and windows.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inside, the Spacemen weren\u2019t burdened by preservation re\u00adquirements for the 1,800 square feet. In fact, the main intervention was so unique, \u201cEven our contractors weren\u2019t sure what the final result would look like,\u201d Edward recalls. Hanging from the ceiling at varied lengths are more than 20 miles of aluminium chain that\u2019s been finished in three shades of gold. Although glamorous, almost other-worldly, Edward cite the rolling tea fields that dot the Chinese countryside as inspiration.<\/p>\n
