The color and material scheme shifts from one area to the next: walls
of deep red fire-kilned ceramic tiles—some of which are painted with
flora and fauna—give way to soft blue surfaces accented by golden
trims and mirrors. Another large yet cozy room with grand fireplaces
and scenic wallpaper is evocative of an English country house, while
also nodding to the nearby park’s greenery. Injections of bright blue,
emerald green and orange in the seating upholstery, as well as bold
floral-patterned cushions for custom leather banquettes, all add
further personality to the space.
The influence of art deco
fashion artist Georges Lepape—whose illustrations covered Vogue and
Vanity Fair in the 1920s work and incorporated East Asian motifs—can
be subtly spotted in the shapes of finely detailed dining chair backs
and sculptural light fixtures. Chevron parquet flooring, mixed
patinated metals, and cafe curtains all add a layer of sophistication,
while trees placed between banquettes and hanging plants cascading
from floating shelves soften the restaurant’s hard lines. The result?
A dining experience that’s both rare and well done.
另一处宽敞而舒适的空间设有宏伟壁炉与风景壁纸,
令人联想到英式乡间宅邸,同时呼应邻近公园的绿意。
座椅软垫运用的明蓝、翠绿与橘色,以及定制皮革卡座上醒目的花卉纹靠垫,
进一步增添了空间个性。
1920年代为《Vogue》与《Vanity Fair》供稿、
作品中融入东亚元素的装饰艺术时尚艺术家 Georges Lepape,
其影响于餐椅靠背的精致造型与灯具的雕塑形态中隐约可现。人字形拼花地板、
混合做旧金属与咖啡帘提升了空间格调,卡座间的绿植与悬垂花艺则柔化了餐厅的硬朗线条。
最终营造出的,是一种独特而恰到好处的用餐体验。
