Sanyuesi Wine Bar contemplates the collective yearning for another time that commands our era. Abandoned by modernity, beauty is constructed in and amongst the ruins of an eighteenth century church. Materials spared by the decay of time are adorned, crystal-glass and industrious metal converge to project grit and grace. Wooden beams and monolithic pillars appear like paper weights, connecting a forward-facing vision with the ancient past. Connected by ideas of the future, time is plain to see, advancing and expired coexist. History does not expire at Sanyuesi, history is a long pause; thoughtful conversation under low-light chandeliers and dramatic coves.
