你梦想中的终极美食体验是怎样的？也许是一位世界级的大厨邀请你到他的家，然后在厨房里亲自为你做饭。这正是Somni（加泰罗尼亚语中“梦”的意思）餐厅设计所希望呈现给顾客的体验——它为厨师José Andrés和Aitor Zabala重新打造了厨房，同时设置了一个神奇而私密的、仅能容纳10个人的用餐空间。

If you imagine the ultimate culinary experience, what would your dream entail? Perhaps a world-class chef would invite you to his house, right into his kitchen and start cooking for you, in front of you. This is what the interior design of Somni (meaning “Dream” in Catalan) is meant to represent – the restaurant re-creates the kitchens of Chefs José Andrés and Aitor Zabala, and creates a magical, intimate space, designed for just ten people to dine.

▼餐厅入口通道，the entry way

为Somni餐厅找到合适的布局并不容易，它位于一间商场内，客人们需要知道隐蔽的入口的位置。进入室内之后，一个暖色调的、狭长而无边角的木质单体空间将客人包围在内——从地板、墙壁到天花板均以连续的木板铺设。犹如圣餐台一般的弧形餐桌拉近了用餐者的距离，并将其注意力引向厨房区域。客人们能够在座位上充分观察到厨房中从备餐和烹饪的整个过程。

Locating Somni is not easy – the restaurant is nestled within The Bazaar, and guests must know which secret door to open. Once inside, the space is warm and envelops guests in a single wooden ribbon without angles or corners – the floor, walls and ceiling are a continuous loop of wooden slats. As with a ritual altar, the sole table in the space curves to bring the diners closer and draw the focus to the kitchen. Guests are close to the activity in the kitchen throughout the entire experience – to get a front row seat to the preparation and cooking of the dishes.

舒适地入座，透过玻璃窗望向厨房，客人们将欣赏到精致完美的菜品从厨师手中诞生的全过程，每一步都井井有条，如同演出一场精心编排的戏剧。为了集中突显厨房内的活动，设计师在操作台上方设置了一个金色的圆顶，令空间更显圣洁。Somni餐厅的设计带来了全方位的感官刺激：视觉上，空间中充满了温暖而诱人的色彩；刀工与烹调的低语构成了背景音乐；陶器和餐具的高贵用料带来细腻的触感；食物的香气不断充斥和诱惑着你的神经；更不用说最终萦绕在舌尖的极致享受。

Comfortably seated and gazing into the kitchen, guests will enjoy the show, an intense dance where the cooks – as many as diners – will unveil a repertoire of dozens of perfectly composed plates. Everything is finely tuned, like a play where everyone moves in harmony. To focus the kitchen’s activity, there is a large golden dome over the cooks, sanctifying the space. Somni appeals to all the senses: visually, the space is filled with warm, inviting colors. The soundscape is a murmur of knifework and cooking. The tactile feel of the pottery and flatware, noble materials in your hands. The aromas that fill your brain and entice you. And of course the taste, the culmination of this culinary performance.

餐厅的墙壁装饰以石材和陶瓷，同时悬挂着西班牙年轻艺术家Okuda San Miguel创作的三个色彩鲜艳的动物头像几何雕塑，与平和的室内空间形成强烈的对比。这种恶作剧式的对撞同时也彰显了Aitor和José Andrés大胆而前卫的烹饪方法。这种实用而温馨的设计受到了典型的西班牙人文主义以及有机主义的启发，同时点缀以超现实主义和些许“出格”的元素，使严格的功能性受制于强烈的激情。

On the wall of the room, dressed in stone and ceramic, hang three works by the young Spanish artist Okuda San Miguel, three brightly colored, geometric busts of animals, which offer a disruptive contrast inside a peaceful and harmonious space. It is a mischievous touch, typical of the daring avant-garde cuisine that Aitor and José Andrés give their creations. The functional, warm design, inspired by classic Spanish humanism and organicism, is touched by surrealism, of force and just a bit of madness. Passion always imposes itself on strict functionality.

一个独特而如梦似幻的空间，一场私密而无与伦比的体验。

A unique space, like a dream, for an intimate, transcendent experience.
