1. 关于项目的灵感和主要概念
我想把拉面的配料组织到一个空间里。
我花了很多心思来创造一个以 “有趣的外观❣”为表达方式的空间。
主要的目标客户群缩小到越南家庭和年轻人。
针对这一目标群体，我问自己 “怎样才能在一个空间里向所有人表达[日本拉面]的形象？
经过反复试验，我决定坚持这种方法。
首先，考虑到 “拉面 “这一食品原料和半圆形的隔间形状，我们希望在设计中融入柔和、自由的曲线。然后，出于一种特别的游戏意图，我试图创造一种设计，让人们在无意中想要 “啪！”地拍一张照片。
柱卷的球形让人联想到面条球，两根柱子的地板上绘有字母 “8”。这代表了公司名称中的 “8”。
此外，天花板上还悬挂着一个巨大的 “达磨”，这是日本著名的吉祥物。在达磨的肚子上画一个吉祥物是很常见的，所以我设计在它的肚子上画上 “8-ban Ramen “的标志。此外，我们还让达磨本身发光，显得格外突出。象征着 “Daruma “的 “Daruma “将产生压倒性的存在感。
弧形木板被随意地悬挂在涂有棕色油漆的天花板上。拉面的典型配料 “menma “也得到了体现。棕色天花板上随意悬挂的弧形木板让我联想到 “拉面汤中漂浮的面条”，因此我想到了这个设计。
在一个中国勺子形状的物体上的 LED 字母让人联想到 “用勺子吃煮鸡蛋”。
厨房下墙上部的弧线也表达了面条的柔软。我们使用绿色作为公司色，并在其下方设置了一个红色展示架，这与公司色有互补关系。这种对比有助于将人们的视线吸引到厨房一侧，同时也有助于展现一个生动、整洁的厨房效果。

1. About the inspiration of the project and the key concept
I wanted to organise the ingredients of ramen into a space.
I’ve put a lot of effort in creating a space with the express method as “Fun to look at❣”.
The main target customers were narrowed down to Vietnamese families and young people.
For this target group, I asked myself: “In what way can I express [Japanese ramen] image in a space to everyone?”
After repeated trial and error, I have decided to stick with this approach.
First of all, we wanted to incorporate soft, free-form curves into the design, given the food ingredient “ramen” and the compartment shape being a semi-circle. Then, with a particular playful intent, I tried to create a design that would make people unintentionally want to “Snap!” and take a photo of it.
The spherical shape of the pillar rolls is reminiscent of a noodle ball, and the letter “8” is painted on the floor of the two pillars. This represents the “8” of the corporate name.
In addition, a large “daruma”, a well-known good-luck charm in Japan, is suspended from the ceiling. It is common to draw a lucky character on the belly of Daruma so I designed to paint the logo “8-ban Ramen” on its belly. Furthermore, we made Daruma itself luminous and extremely outstanding. The symbolised “Daruma” will develop an overwhelming presence.
Curved wood panels were randomly hung from the brown-painted ceiling. The “menma”, a typical ingredient for ramen noodles, was also represented. The curved random wood panels suspended from the brown ceiling reminded me of “menma floating in ramen soup”, which is why I came up with this design.
The LED letters on the object made in the shape of a Chinese spoon gave an image of “eating a boiled egg in a spoon”.
The curved line on the upper part of the kitchen lowering wall also expresses the softness of the noodles. We used the colour green as the CORPORATE COLOUR and installed a red display shelf below it, which is related to the complementary colour. The contrast helps attracting people’s gaze to the kitchen side and also contributes to the effect of showing a lively and clean kitchen.

2. 关于我们面临的困难和最初的一些挫折
SHOPPING MALL 的设计规定要求必须有天花板，因此我很难找到随意悬挂木板的方法。
我们还不得不多次重做中国勺和达磨的 3D 雕塑，最终才完成了这一细节。
3. 关于项目中使用的施工技术和主要材料
墙面：砂浆漆、竹编板、层压板
地板：瓷砖
4. 空间构成和主要原因
我觉得越南人喜欢 “有趣 “的视觉效果。
我希望通过这样的空间设计，让人们熟悉日本拉面，并希望它能越来越多地传播到越南。

2. About the difficulties we faced and some initial setbacks
The design regulations of the SHOPPING MALL required a ceiling by all means, so it was very difficult for me to find a way to hang the wooden panels in a random way.
We also had to redo the 3D sculpture for the Chinese spoon and daruma many times before reaching this detail at last.
3. Regarding the construction techniques and main materials used in the project
Walls: mortar paint, bamboo braided panels, laminate
Floor: tiles
4. Space composition and main reasons
I feel that Vietnamese people love a visual that they find “interesting”.
I hope that by building such a space design, people will become familiar with Japanese ramen and hopefully it will spread to the Vietnamese more and more.
