Mission Chinese Food (East Broadway)
2014
The second NY Mission Chinese Food moved into a space that was a previously a restaurant and instead of starting over, a strategy of minor interventions for maximum impact was used.
The bar is clad in resin composite panels containing dried goods from Chinese medicine stores. They contain a variety of mushrooms, algae, and other herbs as well as more esoteric medicines like dried snakes.
A dining area was added downstairs with a row of banquet seating upholstered in metallic faux snake skin and with tufting buttons made from faux cloisonné baoding balls. The accompanying tables take advantage of the ability to see the whole row from high above and the individual tops combine to create a epoxy composite inlayed dragon. The inlays contain mylar, brass shavings, glass frit, pyrite and various other materials.
