The brand "aMaze" is a Chinese restaurant presented in the style of contemporary Western fine dining, drawing inspiration from the owner's passion for classical tastes and art collections. The design integrates Art Deco elements, featuring wood patterns, distressed mirrors, and stone to create an elegant and grand atmosphere. Details are meticulously planned to complement the art pieces, creating a visually striking dining space that contrasts with the restaurant's understated exterior.
The design emphasizes the experience of movement. The entrance features a winding design that cultivates a refined and calm welcoming experience. Transitional areas include small, stylish steps that build a sense of ritual before dining while aligning the floor levels of the kitchen and private dining rooms to minimize tripping risks during service. Each dining booth has its own private restroom, enhancing privacy. A standout feature is the painting "Pisilian" by Paul Chiang, one of the owner’s most treasured pieces, displayed in a long dining booth. A professional lighting plan intensifies the visual impact, ensuring that the journey through the restaurant—visually, gastronomically, and experientially—leaves dinners with a feeling of "Wow! Amazing!"
