| DESIGN NAME: JIS Kuala Lumpur PRIMARY FUNCTION: Social Lounge and Bar INSPIRATION: The project attempts to bridge time and space, a ‘Back to the Future, Gateway to the Past’.The Art Deco design features bold geometric patterns, hard angles and lavish use of gold and steel. The Sakura Modern lounge takes inspiration from Zen philosophy. The open plan yet cosy atmosphere, bright and graceful lighting, are reminiscent of spring. The colourful futuristic glass panel can be visualised as a tunnel bridging two separate points in space-time from the Gatsby and Sakura Modern era. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The lounge has 3 distinct sections: a 1920s Great Gatsby inspired lounge, clad in glamorous gold trim and subtle ever-changing mood lighting. The motif of the chandeliers, panels and light fittings are geometric patterns matched with the wood panel flooring; next, a modern Japanese inspired Sakura Modern lounge, Arabescato marble pillars gives the room a bright and more feminine touch, accented by pink mood lighting and wallpaper; finally, an intimate parlour reminiscent of a Moroccan tearoom. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: By creating spacious seating layout, people able to connect and socialize each other face to face. Spacing between seating was carefully measured to ensure maximum comfort, while dine-in as well as interacting with people. Color changing from the glass wall and table lamps acted as a key element, which has ability to makes people forget stressfulness from works and focus on connecting to others. And yes,it works. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: JIS Kuala Lumpur is located in Star Boulevard, two minutes away from the heart of city center, KLCC. The project started in early June 2019 and completed in December 2019. It tooks nearly 6 months from design till completion. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: - SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: - TAGS: Socialize, Connect, Interactive, Adding color to Life RESEARCH ABSTRACT: - CHALLENGE: JIS, originally from Japan. We need Malaysian people to understand JIS culture, by designing a bar which significant and identical to Japanese culture, yet able to adopt to Malaysian market. Hence most of the materials and fittings were imported from overseas. And yet we need to complete the full renovation within 4 months, for this 11,000 sqft shop lots which located at level 3. Time is critical but we managed to complete everything within 3 and a half months.

NAME: JIS PROFILE: JIS Kuala Lumpur has our approval. From the moment you set foot into the lounge, you’ll be amazed at what it offers. Before it became such a huge hit in Japan, JIS had to overcome a few social norms – the first one being casual interactions with a stranger. Japan follows a strict Asian culture where they are encouraged to not talk to strangers. With this being the social norm, it became a problem for people to meet one another. The founder of JIS sought to address that and with it, the very fabric of Japanese culture when it came to social interactions. JIS is all about socialising with ease and comfort while paying a fair price. The brand’s tagline is ‘Jinseini Irodoriwo Soeru’, which stands for ‘Adding colour to life.’ This also translates to the acronym for its name, JIS. The whole point of JIS Kuala Lumpur is to give you a safe space where you can socialise and interact with others without having to feel like you’re being watched or judged. |
