From Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu, Metaphor Interior reimagines the timeless Chinese courtyard through its collaboration with Dolly Dim Sum, Malaysia’s celebrated restaurant brand. Each outlet—across Suria KLCC, Elmina Lakeside, Penang, Tebrau City, and Imago—reflects a harmony of heritage and contemporary design.

At the heart of the concept lies a reinterpreted courtyard that bridges tradition and modern living. Open-air dining spaces with terracotta tiles and tropical greenery contrast elegantly with private VIP zones defined by tactile materials and soft lighting. Heritage façades, louvre screens, and Chinese lattice motifs further enrich the experience, expressing Dolly Dim Sum’s cultural roots in a fresh, modern language.

This cross-country collaboration highlights Metaphor Interior’s design excellence beyond borders—blending cultural storytelling, functional flow, and aesthetic refinement into immersive dining spaces.
