Dim Dining
Behind a corner facade designed by architect Frank De Groeve, we were asked to design a restaurant on the theme of Japanese taste, Western infusion.

European materials are combined with Japanese influences. The entrance was hand-painted with Japanese Cherry Blossoms by Pablo Piatti. The restaurant space was reduced to its essence: a gray-green terrazzo floor, forest-green painted walls and a gray-green acoustic textured ceiling.
The textured ceiling flows into the walls and acts as an inverted deco plinth that gives rise to a salvaged and muted atmosphere.
The solid furniture in European oak stands freely in the room. Sophisticated brass details complement the whole. The lighting adds an industrial element: rubber cables in plain sight orchestrate the traditional opal glass dishes throughout the space.
An integrated artwork by young artist Ruben Boeren also serves as an acoustic panel.
