'Dumpling Lab' is a new, futuristic location opened in New York by the 'Hunan Slurp Team,' which is famous for its line of dumpling restaurants. The design for this new dumpling restaurant was created by 'Dreamscript Lab,' a design studio committed to creating both quality and aesthetic designs.
The name Dumpling Lab is important to the concept of the futuristic restaurant because it is intended to be a 'lab' for testing new, experimental dumpling flavors, as opposed to simply being a remodeled Hunan Slurp restaurant. The entire design is structured around this idea of a lab because of the materials used in the dining area. As opposed to traditional restaurants that use wooden, plastic, or marble surfaces, the Dumpling Lab incorporates stainless metal on the bar, polycarbonate boards on the walls, and a lot of terrazzo flooring and tiling.
The lighting is also crucial to the lab-like feel of this restaurant, as it is illuminated without the use of direct lighting. Instead, the restaurant features multiple layers and recessed light sources that create a futuristic, lab-like atmosphere.
