Sò StudioOxalis French Fusion Restaurant (Shanghai Bohua Square Store)
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.

The project space design is inspired by the chef’s hometown French farm and the chef’s philosophy of food rooted in the seasons and nature. So we use space design language to tell a ‘growing secret’ and intend to create a lively space that carries the romantic atmosphere of a French farm estate through modern design techniques. The bright spatial tone rattan wood and white marble create a relaxing dining atmosphere for the restaurant.
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.
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.
The rattan shape with a sense of enclosure in the furniture is used to divide the front central and back dining zone

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
