Restaurant Cor

A thirty-cover restaurant in a former warehouse, where the kitchen is the hearth and everything else is drawn toward it. Charcoal-stained oak wraps the room; aged brass marks the bar and the pass; the lighting is kept low and warm so that faces and plates are the brightest things in the room.

We designed the furniture, the shelving, and the service stations as one family of details, so the space reads as a single hand-made object rather than a fit-out.

“A restaurant is a room built entirely around the light on a plate.”
