Jouin Manku designed the Blue Restaurant, a trendy new Restaurant in Bangkok. Every project of celebrity chef Alain Ducasse is a bomb. Bangkok's new blue restaurant is no exception, attracting visitors not only for its haute cuisine but also for its equally sophisticated design -- from Jouin Manku.

The restaurant is located in the Iconsiam shopping mall, which is known not only for its brands and restaurants, but also for its breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The owners intend to create a 100 percent French restaurant that will appeal to connoisseurs of European cuisine and design. So, at the beginning of the project, Jouin Manku Studio asked the question of what is really "French" and what is the French identity that conveys it all indoors, avoiding cliches.

Thus, the "French" phenomenon is boiled down to four main points: the bouquet of flowers in the gardens of Versailles, the rich "royal" blue, the fashion and art of drape fabrics, and the brilliance and magnificence of the chandeliers. The designer decided to connect all this to the room, a glass pavilion with Windows overlooking the chao phraya river.

According to founder and chef Alain Ducasse, guests should take a journey that starts at the front door and ends in a grand hall with panoramic views of Bangkok. The trip begins in the lobby, which is lined with wooden boards and has a red reception desk in the middle. They still don't know what will happen next, but the atmosphere in the entrance area has hinted at and foreshadowed the fun ahead.
