another tales has created the entire branding and interior design for madam wong, who are both passionate about the new shanghai culture. the interior intends to offer a glimpse into the past by resembling shanghai’s 1920s architectural constructions, yet with a contemporary twist. the concept can be seen throughout the particular motifs, such as the custom-made wall panels, fan displays, and terracotta warriors which greet patrons at the entrance.
