The recipient of a James Beard Design Award for Best Restaurant
Design, this modern Californian Ryokan features strict gridded wall
panels and ceiling beams, and shades over the windows woven from
threads—a subtle nod to the establishment’s name. All of the furniture
is designed bespoke by AvroKO and Stellar Works for SingleThread, and
is now available as a permanent offering within the collaborative
Brightliner Collection.
Spread across the restaurant are
the Sloane Dining Armchairs, whose textured cushions nestle within
curved wood panels that form continuous seat backs and arms. Extending
this design laterally results in custom banquette modules that either
remain straight, or curve around corners to form booths. The natural
walnut Lenox Dining Tables have notched corners and beveled edges,
plus base connections that are elegantly expressed on their surfaces.
Created in both square and rectangular versions, the tables are also
now part of the Brightliner Collection.
Among other details
found through the restaurant include a custom wall-mounted wine
rack—critical in this oenophilic region—and a glass terrarium that
serves as both a centerpiece and a workspace for Katina to build
nightly flower displays. All of these elements are poetic nods to the
couple’s love for farming, gardening, and molecular gastronomy. Each
personal touch is woven into a visual tapestry that forms the setting
for a truly special culinary experience for guests. The Michelin Guide
has awarded it three stars, so you don’t just have to take our word
for it.
这间蕴含现代加州风格的餐厅曾获詹姆斯比尔德设计奖。空间采用规整的网格墙板、天花横梁,
以及用线编织的窗簾——后者含蓄呼应了店名。所有家具均由 AvroKO 与 Stellar Works 为
SingleThread 专门设计,现已成为双方合作的 Brightliner 系列中的固定产品。
餐厅内摆放着 Sloane 扶手餐椅,带纹理的坐垫嵌于弧形木质面板中,形成连贯的椅背与扶手。
将此设计延伸,便成为定制卡座模块,可呈直线或沿转角弯曲,形成半包围座席。天然胡桃木制成的Lenox
餐桌带有凹角与斜边细节,底座连接结构优雅地呈现于桌面。该系列包含方桌与长桌,也已纳入
Brightliner 系列。
餐厅内还点缀着其他细节:一面定制的壁挂酒柜(在这个以葡萄酒闻名的地区必不可少),以及
一个玻璃花房——它既是视觉中心,也是Katina每晚创作花卉摆设的工作台。这些元素诗意地透露了夫妇
二人对农耕、园艺与料理的热爱。每一处个人化的笔触,共同织就了视觉画卷,
为客人营造出独特而完整的用餐体验。该餐厅已获米其林三星评价,其水准自有公论。
Design studio AvroKO devised the restaurant interiors as a workshop,
showcasing Kyle, Katina, and their team’s craft in a studio-style
space that reveals clever nods to this concept as the service unfolds.
For instance, metal-framed panels slide open to fully reveal the
kitchen to the dining room. Silverware for each course is stored in
one of seven hand-numbered drawers within a custom service station,
while on the shelves above, the seemingly decorative ceramic vessels
are utilized by the chef at a specific moment in the night.
设计工作室 AvroKO 将餐厅室内视为一个“创作工坊”,在充满工作室气息的环境中,
展现Kyle、Katina 及其团队的技艺。随着用餐进行,空间的巧思逐一显现:金属框滑门可完全打开,
将厨房展现于客席之前;每道菜对应的餐具,收在定制服务台七个手写编号的抽屉里;而架子上看似装饰的陶器,
会在当晚某个时刻被主厨使用。
