Located in Jewel Changi Airport, Singapore’s amenities complex, Yun Nans is the Southwest China-themed restaurant chain’s first overseas location. A new brand concept called the Motherland underscores the colourful landscape and biodiversity of Yunnan, and triangular, round-edged windows give a view onto the atrium and Jewel’s dramatic waterfall from the oculus, and lush indoor greenery. A planter in the centre, complemented by the circular lighting installation hanging from the ceiling, symbolises the origin of life, and the region’s red earth is represented by the colour palette. Hand-dyed fabric wall decorations pay tribute to Yunnan’s famous handicrafts.
