Oxalis位于上海博华广场四楼，是一家法式融合餐厅。上海博华广场由60 层的办公塔楼与零售商业部分构建而成，坐落在上海自然博物馆旁，四楼餐厅整排落地窗外的北侧大露台面朝吴淞江，视野极佳。餐厅名字取自一种常见草药oxalis，它是主厨Jonas最早开始寻觅的草药之一。主厨Jonas 把这家餐厅定义为“Bistronomy”， 意味着酒馆与美食的融合。
Oxalis is located in 4L of Bohua Square, which is a French Restaurant. Shanghai Bohua Square is composed of a 60-story office tower and retail commercials. It is located next to the Shanghai Nature Museum. The Oxalis restaurant has a large terrace on the north side facing the Wusong River, which means there are great views. The roots of the “Oxalis” name can be traced to 2008, at Restaurant BRAS when Chef Jonas started to work with Michel BRAS where together with the kitchen team, he foraged herbs, plants & flowers in fields around the restaurant. Oxalis was one of the first herbs he foraged. Chef Jonas defines this restaurant as “Bistronomy”, which means the fusion of a pub and food.
该项目空间设计的灵感来源于主厨故乡的法国农庄和主厨对美食的理念，根植于季节和自然。所以这次我们用空间设计的语言来讲述一个“生长的秘密”，意图用现代的设计手法打造一个富有生命力的承载法式农场庄园浪漫情怀的用餐空间。明亮的空间基调、藤编、木材和白色大理石共同为餐厅营造出轻松的用餐氛围。
The interior design of Oxalis is inspired by the French farmyards and the chef’s philosophy of food, rooted in the seasons and nature. So we use modern design language to tell a ‘Glowing Mysteries’, and move the French farmyard into the commercial space. The bright spatial tone, rattan, wood and white marble create a relaxing dining atmosphere for the restaurant.
生长就是超过原本的。在吧台、餐区、包间地面，我们用材质的延伸作为生长意象，将相同的材质从地面延伸到墙面，从墙面延伸到顶面，从内部空间延伸到外部空间，它们既显眼，又是协调统一的。
Growing means going beyond the original. In the bar, dining area, and private room, we use the extension of the material as the growth image, extending the same material from the ground to the wall, from the wall to the top, from the inner space to the outer space. They are both conspicuous and harmonized.
值得一提的是，我们有幸与年轻插画师王浙合作，邀请她为Oxalis12米长2米高的室内墙体以“灵气的植物和动物”为主题进行壁画创作。她的画风活泼鲜明，充满想象力，与Oxalis定义的全新法式风格不谋而合。从入口处的酒吧延展到私密的包厢，这一系列的绘画创作以瓷砖烧制的方式呈现，新颖别致，同时为我们营造出一个美妙的用餐氛围。画面中的植物灵感来源于欧洲常见的蔬果和香料草本，这些质朴的轮廓和色泽在这里却充满了生命力。日常不起眼的小昆虫为画面增添了动感和灵气，惊喜的是主厨家的小猫也意想不到地出现在了其中。我们说美味总是与趣味相伴，不是吗？
It is worth mentioning that we are fortunate to cooperate with young illustrator Wang Zhe. She was invited to create murals for Oxalis’s 12-meter-long, 2-meter-high interior wall with the theme of “Reiki Plants and Animals”. Her style is lively and vivid, full of imagination, and coincides with the new French style defined by Oxalis. From the bar at the entrance to the private room, this series of paintings is presented in the form of ceramic murals, which are novel and chic, while creating a wonderful dining atmosphere. The plants in the picture are inspired by the common fruits and vegetables and herbs in Europe. These rustic outlines and colors make the picture full of vitality. The inconspicuous little insects make the picture more vivid, and the surprise is that the chef’s cat also unexpectedly appears in the picture. Delicious food is always accompanied by fun, isn’t it?
