Organic Glamour? Chic Restaurant Design Gone Wild

Set along a curving street, this shimmering, bejeweled building rises like the first tier of an unfinished wedding cake, thickly frosted and set with sugary decorations. While, from its appearance, you might expect this to be a sweet shop or perhaps an unusual boutique, it’s actually an urban nightclub with a sushi restaurant and sake bar – located, fittingly, in Tokyo. ‘Urban Interiorites‘ is the work done under University of Pennsylvania School of Design professor Ali Rahim by Tiffany Dahlen and student Virginia Melnyk.

Think the exterior is extravagant? Take a gander at the inside, which has the feel of stepping through an alien flower patch into a cartoonish wonderland. You’ll pass through a crystalline hallway down a glittering set of stairs into a fuchsia lounge filled with amorphous, organic furniture. Pink bud-like protrusions line the walls and ceiling.



The sake bar is a golden inner sanctum, dark and geometric, reminiscent of the seed pattern of a sunflower; the sushi restaurant is at once floral and fleshy with tongue-like tables that swoop from the walls down to the ground. This impression may indeed be intentional, as the designers wished to give the restaurant a feel of ‘salivation’.



Found along the shopping strip of Omotesando in Tokyo’s Harajuku neighborhood, Urban Interiorites reflects the outlandish fashions often displayed by local residents, which have influenced the likes of singer/designer Gwen Stefani.

Perhaps there is nothing more therapeutic than a fine dining experience. Culinary sophistication and high standards make for a memorable time for anyone in a restaurant. But we design freaks seek more and often end up lusting over great interiors at places like these.

Organic Food Restaurant in Hamburg

The intention of the newly-founded chain, nat. Good bio meal, is for create quick meal healthy, for offer delicious organic meal in a timely manner – together with this in a contemporaneous surroundings. Nat. brings simultaneous Organic together with Lifestyle, and with this follows the increasingly-important LOHAS-Trend (Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability’s) “nature comes to the city” guided the motif idea. Motives from nature were made so abstract that they can be just vaguely seen.

The primary something that contradicts of a “concerning nature” cafe in an unnatural municipal surroundings becomes the kernel of the motif. This is reflected in the contrast between natural form and controlled, geometric abstraction, as well as in the coming simultaneous of almost dematerialized together with overly tactile, sensuous surfaces.
