Restaurant

The design of this restaurant was inspired by the sesame seed. Sesame seeds are small, black or white, and though simple in nature, provide rich oils and flavors to food. The natural woods, both dark and light, used in the design represent the natural state of the seed while the use of stainless steel represents the oils that the seed can offer. The use of a neutral palette allows customers to enjoy their own personal experience while not being influenced by the numerous feelings colors can sometimes bring.

The furniture is placed to create an open floor plan. The tables set up on the south end of the restaurant provide a private dining atmosphere where customers would be farther away from the larger, central public dining space. The five tables on the west side of the restaurant are made more private by being placed in between two partition walls.
