32 THE WORLD OF HOSPITALITY
JADE ASIAN RESTAURANT
Jade: sophisticated Asian restaurant
at JW Marriott Hotel
Hotel
Tandem Design specialises in liveable interiors that
push creative boundaries. This project, Jade Asian
restaurant, situated in one of the most luxurious
hotels in the world – JW Marriott- is no different.
Although it is a restaurant, guests could easily feel
at home. HORUS suspension light by BRABBU,
gives the ambience a special touch and brightness,
helping in the creation of the “home feeling”.
The Asian inspired dining space is defined by
drama and sophistication. Upon approach to the
transformative restaurant the guest is immediately
greeted by two large Chinese Guardian Lions, or
Foo Dogs. These large statues are known to be
protectors of negative energy, the precise art piece
to incorporate before a guest enters the soothing
Jade restaurant.
Some touches of traditional Asian design are
possible to find on the wooden facade, slats of
perimetral wood and sliding doors in scale. While
mimicking its ancestral design, the slats take on a
modern approach with the integration of lighting
to add to the verticality of the space as well as
creating an added layer of spectacle to the facade.
