Picnic

Name: Picnic

Picnic, a concept restaurant created in Paris showcases how minimalist design, paired with bold pattern, can create a vibrant and fun experience. 




Using worn wood and unadorned walls allows the patterns to be the star. By keeping the patterns all geometric in nature, ties the multiple elements together create a bit of harmony within the space.

Duende

Name: Duende
Location: Oakland, CA
Design: Arcsine Architecture in collaboration with multiple local artisans.


With today's highly competitive restaurant scene, restaurant owners know that the need to offer more than just a great plate of food in order to attract and keep guests. Duende, located in Oakland, California was crated with this in mind and offers a bit for everyone. 


Located in a historic Art Deco building, the interior utilizes graphics and patterns to bridge the deco exterior and industrial nature of the space. 

The large interior utilizes large amounts of worn wood and exposed brick to balance out the saturated and geometric murals.

I love that while the space is large in scale, the warmth and amount of detail keep it warm and unimposing.

The Wright Brothers

Name: The Wright Brothers Soho Oyster House
Location: London



The Wright Brothers second location features classic details with a few unexpected twists. Located near London Bridge, Soho serves up oysters and other sea morsels from it's open raw bar. 





The raw bar, defined by worn subway tiles in a not-so-classic pattern and warm wood also features integrated spots to set oyster trays, keeping the bar space clear for diners. 





The large industrial pendants, exposed bulbs in cages, and metal staircase details all add a subtle industrial touch while remaining balanced by the classic cafe chairs and red tufted banquette.



The two story space utilizes it's height to display beautiful photos of the food being served and sources.
