2020年三月，Enter Projects Asia完成了位于曼谷河畔的SPICE & BARLEY餐厅项目。业主的理念十分明确，即引入创新和生态意识，使新品牌在当地达到国际设计标准。设计概念围绕几十年前出生在四川的May，Zaza和Fei三姐妹的冒险经历展开。随着设计团队对故事的深入探索，设计逐渐形成叙事性，他们用自由流动的、雕塑般的藤条结构组成的复杂网架连接过去和现在，如同三姐妹的故事一样令人陶醉。

In March 2020,Enter Projects Asia completed the design installation for Spice & Barley at Riverside in Bangkok. Minor International were clear on their brief : to introduce innovation and eco-awareness, giving the new brand a local context – to an International design standard. The initial concept centered around the adventures of three sisters, May, Zaza & Fei who were born in Sichuan decades earlier. As they explored the story in more depth, a design narrative was formed, connecting the past & present in a complex web of free flowing, statuesque rattan structures, as intoxicating as the characters themselves.

设计团队以其标志性的风格融合了3D数字技术和传统工艺，将天然可再生的藤条置于30米高的空间中。藤条形成自由流动的液体形状，模拟倒入玻璃杯中的啤酒，其设计美学强烈地突显了这里作为比利时精酿啤酒指定餐厅的定位。宽大的藤柱完美地衬托出印有三姐妹的背景墙，这是对四川美食的双重肯定，菜品与餐厅供应的啤酒相得益彰。尽管餐厅在视觉上给人以冲击，但它实际上遵循了赖特的理念：“形式和功能应当在精神上高度统一”，将喷金漆的藤柱的内部空间用于存放酒管、空调以及其他相关设备。

In their signature style, fusing 3D digital technology with traditional arts & crafts, the Enter Projects team sought to incorporate natural, renewable rattan into the 30-metre-high space. By generating free-flowing liquid geometries, to mimic beer as it’s poured into a glass, the design aesthetic gives a strong nod to Spice & Barleys anchorage as a craft Belgium Beer destination. The sweeping rattan columns flawlessly frame the backdrop of the three sisters, a dual nod to the Sichuan cuisine which ingeniously complements the beer offering. Whilst the form itself is visually awe-inspiring, the gold painted rattan also serves to hide the beer pipes, air-conditioning and other related services, paying homage to the belief that “form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union”.
