  • Origami Bar is located on Middle Huaihai Road near the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, the name “Origami” is derived from a video of paper airplanes, which carry a wealth of symbolism. As the owner described his conceptualization process to us, a corresponding picture of the space gradually emerged in our minds. People who love to drink, they often come with a wealth of emotions and moods of their own, and these qualities are the most natural and wonderful decorations. Therefore, we wanted to keep the space design as restrained and rational as possible, and use it as a pure container. The overall shape of the interior and the materials in the space are designed with origami as the core to ensure the coordination and unity of the space. Even the furniture, wall lamps and other furnishings in the space are designed with the element of triangles to strengthen the visual coherence.
