Yaoyao is a restaurant interior located in Shenzhen. The design covers 250 square meters on a single floor.

A ceiling of water corrugated stainless steel and glass lamps create the impression of an underwater setting. The layout forms semi-private areas that place a comfortable distance between diners.
