Born from an amalgamation of cultures, Tinto brings to Saigon the niche Nikkei cuisine, a combination of Japanese and Peruvian cuisines that will delight the palette of its guest.
The space was design around these cultures, and we ambitioned a clean and minimalistic environment with colorful highlights. The main design elements are the Japanese shelf (Tana) and the stucco found on most villages in Peru. These two elements give birth to the space.
The identity of the food at Tinto was a main driver for the design. Intense red lighting, reminiscent of the pigment fields along the Andes Mountain range and semi translucent materials that imitate a Japanese sliding door (Shoji).
The space open itself to the street welcoming new guest and fostering interaction between guest and passersby. The main large windows fold themselves up to create a cantilever that protects the table from the rain, and the stools inside are the perfect spot for a cold Japanese beer afterwork.
The layout divides the space in two areas. The main central area where conversation and high energy interactions concentrate, and the dining area more suitable for a quieter diner in family.
The façade elevates itself on a street with very low buildings. Making a statement that will intrigue people on the street to step inside and fill the space with joy.
