restaurants dining around HEYTEA at Zhengzhou Grand Emporium > Chinese brand HEYTEA is not your traditional teadrinking café. To attract a younger generation, Shenzhen-based MOC Design Office injected the space with thoughtful, contemporary touches-a joyful graphic of a tea drinker greets guests upon arrival, for example-that are then translated into streamlined interiors. The firm found inspiration in the art of calligraphy punctuating the space with black bamboo sculptures suspended from the ceiling to recall the delicate stroke of the pen, while white lacquered aluminum walls nod to the Xuan paper used for the practice. "The project is an audacious attempt to draw young people's attention to our traditional arts," says chief designer Vivi Wu, "which are being nearly forgotten in the modern world." 240 May 2019 hospitalitydesign.com
