RooMoo Design Studio

RooMoo Design Studio, founded in Shanghai in 2017 by Tao Zhang, Ray Zhang, and Marine Bois, has established itself as a benchmark in international interior design. Today, the three founding creative directors lead a dynamic multicultural team, operating from studios in Shanghai and near Montpellier, France.

Under the creative direction of founding partners Tao Zhang, Ray Zhang, and Marine Bois, the Aster project design team included Gino Wang. The firm's highly collaborative, research-based design method integrates client vision, local culture, and material craftsmanship from early in the creative process.

The firm's design philosophy centers on combining industrialization with craftsmanship, transcending conventional dining space limitations to pursue the creation of spaces with emotional resonance and unique experiences. Their design methodology emphasizes treating each project as a fresh exploration, thoughtfully redefining materials, creating custom-designed furniture and lighting for projects, establishing balance between functionality and aesthetics through design ingenuity to achieve sustainability and visual excellence. The studio's commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, along with deep respect for local craftsmanship, manifests in every design concept.

Notable achievements include landmark projects such as Lai Zhou Bar in Shanghai, winner of Dezeen Awards Best Restaurant Interior; B3 Bistro in Shenzhen and Halation Bistro in Shanghai, recipients of multiple RBDA Awards; and Som Land Hostel in Shanghai, honored with Dezeen Awards Highly Commended and DFA Awards Bronze. In dining space design, RooMoo is celebrated for projects including Le Coq au Vin in Xi'an, Hangzhou, and Shanghai Xintiandi, demonstrating the studio's ability to create brand coherence while endowing each space with unique identity.

RooMoo Design Studio has established new paradigms in global hospitality design through a diverse portfolio spanning hotels, restaurants, bars, and commercial spaces, demonstrating consistent commitment to innovation, aesthetics, craftsmanship, and sustainability. The studio's experienced design and project management teams dedicate themselves to providing complete and excellent service throughout the entire project process, with each project supervised and managed by creative directors, aiming not only to meet client needs but to exceed expectations.
