Jingyan Restaurant

Kelly Hoppen’s design for this Michelin-starred Beijing restaurant blends culture, cuisine, and design. It features clean lines, geometric marble, and hidden lighting for a dramatic East-meets-West ambiance. Some of its seven individually designed rooms are seen here.

 

Guests are welcomed by a striking reception desk resembling natural cut stone, clad in luxurious polished metal. The starburst-patterned marble flooring directs them toward an organic spiral staircase enclosed in dramatic smoked glass. At its centre, a cascading glass and metal chandelier, inspired by traditional Chinese roof shapes, adds a breathtaking touch.

Bold Chinese red makes a statement throughout the space, appearing in rich velvet upholstery, artwork, and lacquered wardrobe joinery with traditional detailing. Custom Kelly Hoppen pendants in matt black and alabaster marble hang above the dining table, while soft curves on the walls add contrast to the hard finishes.

 

This room embodies Kelly Hoppen’s classic modern style, layering warm neutrals in timber and soft furnishings. A cascading crystal chandelier, taupe velvet details, and sleek silver accents create a luxurious balance, while rattan joinery nods to traditional Chinese baskets.

Blue accents in the furnishings and artwork reflect the rich royal blue associated with the royal family. A striking chandelier of luxurious glass rods, inspired by traditional Chinese dragon movements, highlights the main bar. Behind it, an embossed metal feature with a classic Chinese cloud pattern symbolises peace.
