For the launch of Ming Court, Wanchai, JUMA has designed a new sustainable wardrobe collection for the restaurant’s staff using textiles made from recycled water bottles and eco-friendly tencel fabrics. Alia Juma, the design director of JUMA, was influenced by the movement and the classic Chinese qipao and integrated these elements which resulted in a contemporary and functional design featuring mandarin collars, pankou buttons and fluid fabrics with dark floral prints.
In paying homage to the important role that food plays in bringing friends and families together in Chinese culture, the restaurant is thoughtfully decorated with artworks of people from all walks of life. Complementing the soft tones and minimalistic design of Ming Court, Wanchai, these images reflect the restaurant’s aspiration in becoming the favourite gathering place for people to enjoy meals together.
