Since the recent opening of Japanese bistro Kinoya on Saint-Denis Street, the Irasshaimase salutes have not stopped in this izakaya, the Japanese answer to the tapas bar. Modern yet imbued with tradition, this little gem of Japanese cuisine deserved for its jewel case nothing but an unusually inventive design. Created by the talented designer Jean de Lessard, who had carte blanche for this project, the volumes and shapes of great simplicity are making this space shine with a total casual chic.
自从最近日本Kinoya小酒馆在圣•丹尼斯街开业以来，顾客不断的光临到这个居酒屋中来，日本人的回答是这个小吃酒吧符合他们的品味。现代中充满了传统的气息，就这个日本料理店不同寻常的发明设计而言，这看似小小的一个闪光点便足以可以使它座无虚席。天才设计师让•德莱萨德将它创造出来，并且为这个项目全权负责，小巧的体积和简单的外形使这个空间中闪耀着一种休闲时尚的光芒。


Although the interior stone and brick covering had to be kept, the metamorphosis is radical in this once darken place. “Any trace of the previous Italian restaurant with its huge pizza ovens has disappeared. One can now enjoy the show of performing Japanese chefs in their open kitchen ”, explains Jean de Lessard.
尽管在小酒馆的内部仍然保持着用石头和砖装饰的风格，但是在这个曾经很暗的地方，改变却是随意的。“以前的意大利餐厅拥有巨大的披萨烤炉，任何这样的痕迹都已经消失了。现在，人们可以尽情享受日本厨师在他们的开放式厨房中的表演。”让•德莱萨德解释道。


Changes to the existing circulation axis, as well as the creation of new viewpoints
with different ambiances have given the space an amazing sense of dynamism and fluidity.
更改现有的流通轴，并且创造出了新的观点，这个观点就是，不同的氛围给了这个空间一种惊人的充满了活力和流动性的感觉。


The designer has given a humoristic twist to the traditional “tatami” room which is at the heart of the project. It breaks the “cafeteria style” effect which is due to the high ceilings and the rectangular shape of the place and forces us to question our perception of space. The long sculptural strip made of yellow birch wraps itself around, as would a furoshiki, to form a “box” that the designer has positioned slightly off the mark. The reason for this becomes apparent when one moves along inside the bistro bar. “Jean thinks of the smallest detail, he is a great designer and a perfectionist who is passionate about design!”, rejoices Ivy Dong, one of the owners. In this clean space, however, not a single detail is superfluous.
设计师对传统的“榻榻米”房间赋予了一种幽默性的转变，这是这个计划的核心。它打破了“自助餐形式”的效果，这是由于这个房价中高高的天花板和矩形的形状，迫使我们不得不质疑我们的空间感。由黄桦木制成的长长的雕塑带缠绕在房间周围，像一个包袱一样，形成了一个设计者已经定位好的、稍微有点偏离标志的“盒子”。当人们沿着它进入到小吃酒吧内部的时候，它的原因就变得很明显了。“让考虑到了最小的细节，他是一个伟大的设计师，同时他也是一个对设计充满热情的完美主义者。”小酒馆的主人之一，Ivy Dong， 欣喜的说道。然而，在这片干净的空间里，没有一个细节是多余的。


The gigantic flowers that run on the floor, walls and ceiling lead us into a world of fantasy and poetry. Such excessive demonstration is often seen in a manga universe. Here, the huge plum blossoms, peonies and stylized chrysanthemums have become contemporary representatives of thekamon (the heraldic insignia of ancient samurai clans). These identical patterns are also found on a tiny paper kimono displayed on the wall, the first of a series of ten works of art, which shapes and colors are a daring challenge to one another. This quintessential signature has become a part of the identity of Kinoya, so much that the aesthetic floral graphic is also displayed on the menu card.
巨大的花朵出现在地板上，墙上，天花板上，引领我们进入到了一个充满梦幻和诗意的世界。这种过度的示范经常出现在漫画的宇宙中。在这里，巨大的梅花，牡丹和风格化的菊花已经成为了当代加门的代表（古代武士家族的纹章徽章）。这些相同的形式也在展示在墙上的小纸和服上发现，它是一系列的十部艺术作品之首，它们的形状和颜色，是对彼此的一个大胆的挑战。这个典型的特征已经成为了Kinoya身份的一部分，同时这些充满艺术性的花卉图形也大量的展现在菜单卡片上。


The warmth and golden quality of wood, the delicate and sharp shades of pink against a masculine glossy black; the softness of materials in a more classic shade of grey all blend in with finesse, because for Jean de Lessard: “I wanted to create a place which would be sexy but not fake, a place where both men and women would feel good.” Still, humour is never far away evokes the playfully clad-in-skirt bar stools created by the designer. Soft and indirect lighting is used to create different moods, as well as the play of chiaroscuro and of pitching “full” against “empty” through various architectural elements, such as the wood partition at the bar that the designer has detached from the wall.
这些看上去令人感到温暖的黄金品质木材，不同于阳刚有光泽的黑色那样，而是有着透着细腻的清晰粉色调。在一个比较经典的、全部由灰色混合的阴影中，柔软的材料与技巧结合起来，因为让•德莱萨德说“我想创造一个地方，一个性感的却不是假的，一个能让男人和女人都感到很舒适的地方。”不过，幽默感从来没有远离过，它使人们想起由设计师设计的很好笑的像穿着包裙的酒吧椅。柔和的间接的灯光用来渲染不同的气氛，同时，场内的明暗对比和色调的“满”而不是“空”这样的效果，都是通过各种各样的建筑因素表现出来，例如酒吧中由设计师从墙上拆卸下来的木质隔断。


If Kinoya was designed to be in the image of its trendy clients, it also reflects the personality of its young creative and dynamic owners faithfully. “We have so much fun working here“, says Ivy Dong, and as for the chef Devin Chen, he concludes: “In my restaurant, I always feel as if I am wearing the yukata and that we are gathered on the tatami, my friends and I, for food and drinks and to have a good time! ”Domo arigato gozaimasu!
如果说Kinoya的设计目的是代表了时尚客人的形象，这也真实的反映出了它充满活力和创造力的年轻业主的个性。“我们在这工作是如此的开心”Ivy Dong说，而且正如它的主厨陈温德总结的那样，“在我的餐厅中，我总是感觉好像我正在穿着浴衣，和我的朋友聚集在榻榻米上，吃着美味的食物，喝着可口的饮料，度过了一段愉快的时间！”Domo arigato gozaimasu!
