Shanghai Taikoo Li Le Coq Restaurant bar

Le Coq Wine and Bistro at Taikoo Li Qiantan, Shanghai is designed by RooMoo around the concept of a walk-in vineyard, delivering an immersive wine-and-dining experience. Wood grilles of varying sizes and angles climb irregular GRG walls like grapevine branches, with LED lights as symbolic grape clusters. The spiral staircase transforms the wood grilles into wine-bottle shelves, linking natural vitality with human craft. A dimmable lighting system changes color through the day, simulating grape evolution from green to ripe to wine; evening jump mode provides a relaxed mood for late drinks. Light beige bricks cover most walls, each laid in a unique pattern to suggest movement in a static surface. Deep gray leather panels at the two-story void drape the space like a warm blanket, contrasting with the beige brick and creating visual impact from afar and refined texture up close. The ground floor is warm and open, while the second floor has fewer seats for privacy with two VIP rooms. Both floors offer outdoor dining. The bar at the street corner integrates indoor and outdoor, functioning as a multi-use grey zone that draws restaurant traffic while providing lounge and casual drinking space. The design balances ease and refinement, two seemingly opposite qualities, weaving them into a coherent spatial tone that evokes European sensory immersion.
