Reminiscent of an agrarian heritage, the space has an incredible undulating ceiling that is evocative of both charred wood and a plume of smoke, the materials are given an uncharacteristic sense of refinement similar to the cuisine itself. The undulating ceiling installation created out of laser cut MDF and painted black, this ceiling installation billows through a refined palette of zinc and rift-sawn oak before emerging as the restaurant’s entry canopy.
