Key Design Highlights One half of the restaurant's floor space is occupied by a structure clad in cherry wood that fronts the back-of-house elements. The long cherry wood wall facing the dining area incorporates serving stations, wine racks, and storage compartments. The dining area offers a variety of seating options, including minimal wood chairs and tables, leather-upholstered banquettes, and a high bar table. A black pebble wall contrasts with warm oak floors, achieving a cozy effect in the dining area. Complementing the palette of dark and natural materials, brass details appear on chandeliers and shelving units. A black pebble wall in the dining area (right) catches and reflects light, contrasting with the warmth of the leather banquettes and oak wood flooring. Centered on this wall is a black mesh panel (opposite), behind which neon letters spell out the restaurant's name. 110 contractdesign.com JULY | AUGUST 2017http://www.contractdesign.com
