Diners enjoy a trippy experience at this Shanghai restaurant, which creates an underwater atmosphere by cocooning guests in blue light.
Chinese firm AD Architecture designed the interiors of Taste of Dadong, which is steeped in shades of deep purple, indigo and neon blue – set off by flashes of fuschia.
The dramatic neon lighting emphasises the equally dramatic floor plan, with huge, curving partitions shielding dining areas and lending the entire restaurant a vaguely brutalist feel. Gradients of colour play across these vast internal walls, as well as the ceiling.
To add to the dream-like experience, AD Architecture has installed mirrored panels overheard, which create funfair-esque reflections of guests. Thankfully, the bar is still easy to find, signposted by a wash of neon pink lighting.
