Restaurant interior

Located in Boston's Seaport District, with a rich history of shipping and fishing, Tom Schlesinger's latest restaurant, Hook + Line, draws inspiration from the surrounding neighborhood. Designed by the team at RUHL | JAHNES Architects, the design sets out to mirror the Seaport District's history and the seafood restaurant's connection to the ocean through subtle references embodying the neighborhood's spirit. The goal for the restaurant's design was to be cozy and warm, like one would expect from a residence, with a strong sense of modern architecture. To achieve this, tile and other fixed materials form an understated backdrop of blueish-green hues, with aged reclaimed wood slats that accent the long back wall. Within the wood slats, gaps... More

128 Podil Food Market is the flagship of the Kyiv-based 128 cafe chain, located in the building of a former bus station in Podil.  Maryan Beresh Maryan Beresh Maryan Beresh Maryan Beresh The task was deceptively simple – to create a new place that would quickly become a community hub with a simple, familiar vibe. The client wanted a convenient and understandable design with plenty of light and plants inside the cafe. Straight aggressive angles and shiny metal elements were undesirable – anything that could overly modernize the historical space of the old building. According to the client's vision, during the warm season, food trucks would appear on the summer terrace, hosting festivals of national cuisi... More

Located in a small spot in front of the Pyramid of Cholula's archaeological site, we designed this lunch spot (which was originally  meant to be a juice bar) with two young chefs who had previously worked in important local spots and were now ready to undertake their own personal project. Jaime Navarro The concept for the space is born under the premise of the gastronomic proposal: 'natural and fresh'. Natut is a space conceived to pamper body and soul, pausing time to enjoy while you consciously nurish your body. So we decided to represent this idea through materials and colors which reflected such, without falling into cliches. Jaime Navarro Yellow, a color found in nature, was the base and it links the neutral tones of p... More

Before Liqui started the Verdi Italian restaurant interior design, our branding company Crate47 had to create the brand, part of which included finding the right name. This process was done in consultation with ourselves so that the restaurant interior and the branding would work in unison. Both had to reflect the modern approach to traditional Italian cuisine that our client wanted to promote. With their emphasis on fresh, quality produce, Verdi (meaning ‘greens’) became the chosen name. The brand’s use of different shades of green in the logo was carried through by us into the interior restaurant design itself in such things as the soft furnishings and wall coverings. As part of the sub-branding, Crate47 created a patter... More

Liqui’s seafood restaurant design for Pier 29 was created hand-in-hand with our branding agency Crate47 who created a brand that fits with the nautical theme of our contemporary interior. This was in-line with the all-encompassing brief for this new hospitality venture, and together we developed a subtly branded restaurant interior design that offers a relaxed dining experience for those who enjoy good quality seafood. With the maritime theme in mind, the interior design of the restaurant combines such elements as navy blue walls and exposed timber. There’s a row of large circular mirror windows running the length of one wall that suggest oversized portholes. We created a slice of theatre with two large installation pieces susp... More

Yakinikumafia   "We created a poetic narrative drawn from the nostalgia, excitement and glamour, where the airport was considered as a highly theatrical space for humanistic exchanges." – Kenny Kinugasa-Tsui, co-founder of Bean Buro   "The restaurant was designed and constructed throughout the lock down (due to the Coronavirus), and opened just as the city began to ease its restrictions. The project's ethos was to 'ride out' the contextual challenges, entice customers and support the communities of farmers and producers." – Lorène Faure, co-founder of Bean Buro   The Brief: 'Ride It Out' Bean Buro was tasked with the design of Yakinikumafia on Hollywood Road in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, a restaurant bra...

Task  To create a cozy and minimalist interior for Pan-Asian gastronomy with a casual bar like “Izakaya”. Traditionally “Izakaya” is a Japanese pub and casual place for sake drinking.   Challenges  The small area of the gastropub had to fit 58 seats, with 19 of them at the bar. The owners also wanted to use Falconnier glass bricks, which had to be worked into the modern concept.  Idea Inspired by the Japanese “Izakaya” style, we created the interior, minimalist in its colors, decorations, and materials, and sophisticated in delicately thought-out designer solutions, interesting to explore and decode.  Solution  We used the legacy of the old space and accentuate the co...
