Kyubi, The Arts Club，伦敦/室内设计

Joyce Wang Studio在伦敦最具排他性的会员俱乐部艺术俱乐部（Arts club）推出全新Kyubi餐厅的设计。Kyubi的新外观融合了世纪中期的当代设计和明治时期丰富的美学；这是一个象征着日本在东西方原则交汇之际开始现代化的时代。文化遗产和风格的历史综合在工作室对久比的诠释中得到了呼应。

Joyce Wang Studio unveils the design of the all-new Kyubi restaurant at London’s most exclusive members’ club, The Arts Club. Kyubi’s new look fuses mid-century contemporary design with an opulent Meiji period aesthetic; an era which symbolises the beginnings of modernisation in Japan at a point when eastern and western principles met. The historic synthesis of cultural heritage and styles is echoed throughout the studio’s interpretation of Kyubi.

在门厅区域，传统的诺伦悬挂最初用于保护入口两侧的房屋，作为家庭欢迎。Yosegi木材地板参考了传统的日本漆器箱细节，现代黄铜镶嵌图案细节贯穿整个空间。这家餐厅通往一个活泼、开放的Robata、寿司和天妇罗柜台，厨师的戏剧性占据了中心舞台。

At the foyer area, traditional Noren hangings originally used to protect a house flank the entrance as a domestic welcome. The Yosegi timber flooring reference traditional Japanese lacquer chest details with a modernised brass inset motif detail that appears throughout the space. The restaurant opens up into a lively, open Robata, Sushi and Tempura counter where the theatricality of the chefs take centre stage.

主用餐区以日本渔民在长原河上手绘的全景风景为特色，那里到处都是薄荷睡莲垫，构成了我们用餐场景的背景。主餐厅的雕塑枝形吊灯由代表日本书法的铁笔和悬浮玻璃块组成；将流动的光束投射到殖民地的亚麻天花板上。

The main dining area features a panoramic hand-painted scenery of Japanese fisherman on the Nagara River flooded with mint lily pads, forming the backdrop to our dining scene. The main dining sculptural chandelier is composed of iron strokes representative of Japanese calligraphy and suspended glass blocks; casting fluid beams of light onto our colonial linen ceilings.

内部采用金苏吉色调，包括黄色、金色、深靛蓝和醋栗色，在日本历史木版画和丝网印刷中随处可见。桌底轮廓仿照明治时期细长花瓶的几何结构，而天田瓷器则在装饰吊坠和清酒龙头的底部激发了手绘日本花卉图案的灵感。

The interiors are in a Kinsugi palette of yellow, gold, ombre indigo and currant seen throughout Japanese historical woodblock and screen prints. Table bases profile take after the geometry of slender Meiji-period vases whilst Arita porcelain inspire hand painted Japanese floral motifs in the underside of decorative pendants and sake taps.

每张餐桌上都有一个刀架；也被称为tsuba，以Esmeralda onyx桌面为中心。盘子上雕刻着日本灵感的民间艺术，这些华丽的细节呈现出有趣和艺术的变化，传统工艺的日本定制作品渗透到装饰中。

Each dining table has a sword mount; also known as tsuba centered against Esmeralda onyx table top. The plate is engraved with Japanese inspired folk art, these ornate details take on a playful and artistic turn with traditionally crafted Japanese custom pieces filtering into the décor.

我们工作室对Kyubi进行了翻修，以日本传统艺术和手工艺为灵感，通过叙事、材料和审美天赋，将其与西方殖民地的影响无缝融合，创造出一个沉浸式的内部环境，与日本的寿司、生鱼片和天妇罗菜单搭配，提升了餐厅的档次。

Our studio’s renovation of Kyubi elevates the restaurant through our narrative, materials and aesthetic flair inspired by traditional Japanese arts and crafts merge seamlessly with colonial western influences to create an immersive interior to pair with the Japanese menu of sushi, sashimi and tempura.

Kyubi在日语中也是狐狸的意思。这个名字来源于日本民间故事和戏剧中传说中的九尾狐，它拥有神奇的力量，被描绘成一种聪明的动物。所选名称反映了艺术俱乐部是伦敦最受尊敬和最迷人的地方之一，由查尔斯·狄更斯于1863年创建，为艺术、文学和科学领域的精英、权威鉴赏家提供了一个空间。

Kyubi which also means fox in Japanese. The name is derived from the legendary nine-tailed fox found in Japanese folktales and plays, it possesses magical power and is depicted as an intelligent animal. The chosen name reflects The Arts Club as one of the most revered and fascinating places in London founded in 1863 by Charles Dickens which provided a space for elite powerful connoisseurs in the Arts, Literature, and Science.

由奥地利医疗保健公司Lanserhof提供的一家新健身房即将在其多佛街前哨站开业，并计划在未来几年内将该品牌在当地、金丝雀码头、全球、迪拜和洛杉矶进行推广。

With a new gym – courtesy of Austrian medical wellness company, Lanserhof – soon to open in its Dover Street outpost and plans in the works to expand the brand both locally, to Canary Wharf, and globally, to Dubai and Los Angles, in the next couple of years, The Arts Club is on a roll.

其最新产品是新打造的Kyubi，这是一家日式餐厅，进一步提升了这家总部位于伦敦的私人会员俱乐部的排他性——尤其是香港的Joyce Wang对其内部进行了改造，他重新设计了一系列以前的酒店客房，其纹理和参考资料构成了丰富而富有个性的氛围。

Its latest offering is the newly minted Kyubi, a Japanese restaurant that further boosts the exclusivity of the London-based private members’ club- not least for its interiors by Hong Kong-based Joyce Wang, who reimagined a series of former hotel guestrooms with a rich and characterful mood board of textures and references.

日本元素很微妙，手工制作的靛蓝染色丝绸墙面覆盖物描绘了宁静的日本捕鱼场景，酒吧外覆盖着日本风格的陶瓷屋顶砖，总部位于京都的纺织公司Hosoo的面料，以及定制的玛瑙或木材桌面的混合，后者在中间嵌入了一个日本锁具。

The Japanese elements are subtle, with handcrafted indigo dyed silk wall coverings that depict serene Japanese fishing scenes, Japanese-inspired ceramic roof tiles that clad the bar, fabrics from Kyoto-based textile company Hosoo, and a mix of custom made onyx or timber table tops, the latter imbedded with a recreation of a Japanese lock in the centre.

正如王所说，灯光“感觉像日式的，但没有太多的参照物”。这就转化为定制吊坠，吊坠张力固定在富木房间分隔板、樱桃枝和人造雪花石膏壁灯上，以及天花板灯，吊灯由家具制造公司Cox London定制，包括吹制玻璃立方体，周围包裹着贾科梅蒂设计的锻造铁笼，占据了舞台的中心位置。

The lighting, as Wang says, ‘feels Japanese but is not overly referent’. This translates to custom made pendants, which are tension-fixed into the rich timber room dividers, cherry branch and faux alabaster wall sconces, and a ceiling light, custom made by furniture manufacturing company Cox London – comprising mouth-blown glass cubes enveloped by Giacometti-inspired forged iron cages – which takes centre stage.

所有这些都很好地结合在一起，为行政总厨Soon Li Ong的菜单形成了一个适当复杂的背景。菜单展示了菜肴中最好的食材，如铁板和鱼牛肉，直接从Robata烧烤店供应的yuzu kosho ponzu，烤三文鱼红烧配豆腐李子鞑靼酱，当然还有最新鲜的寿司和生鱼片，所有这些都配上一杯或两杯清酒，由餐厅的清酒侍者选择，或直接从清酒龙头中选择——这是英国第一次。

All this comes together nicely to form a suitably sophisticated backdrop for Executive Head Chef Soon Li Ong’s menu, which showcases the finest of ingredients in dishes such as the sizzling Wagyu beef served with yuzu kosho ponzu straight from the Robata grill, grilled salmon teriyaki with tofu plum tartare sauce and, of course, the freshest sushi and sashimi, all paired with a glass or two of sake chosen by the restaurant’s sake sommelier, or straight from the sake tap- a UK first.
