Set to debut in late 2025, Chinese Odyssey—the sister restaurant to the reknowned HUPO in Long Island City—will make its grand entrance into Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. In close collaboration with the visionary team at Design Next Agency, this immersive dining destination is being brought to life from the ground up.

Overseeing coordination across all fronts, from landlord negotiations to technical integration with architects and engineers, I worked hand in hand with our clients to translate their boldest ambitions into reality. Drawing inspiration from surrealist art and layered storytelling, the design embraces a maximalist aesthetic intended to leave a lasting impression—a space where visual wonder and Chinese cultural homage intertwine seamlessly.
