This celebrated restaurant institution approached us to design their flagship location, as well as reinvent the branding, advertising, graphics, and website. Our design considers the customer’s visit as a comprehensive experience: architecture, interiors, decorating, landscape, furniture design, and lighting design. As a social catalyst, this 6,000 square foot, 210-seat restaurant explores the architecture of informality and ‘infusion,’ and investigates how to subvert the typical framing of a traditional, dining room.
The restaurant’s rich material palette includes: painted mural on Hinoki-style cypress planks, Venetian-influenced mirror décor, solid walnut planked furniture, red lacquer details, woven wire mesh screens, Calacutta white marble, hand-troweled plaster, and a feature art piece by London-based light artist Stuart Haygarth.
The exterior addition complements the 1972 corporate building. Of the two new glass rooms, one is the main entrance, and the other is the private room. Floating above the glass rooms is a 90′ long roof canopy.
To ensure a comprehensive, consistent, and integrated design, Chaya retained Poon Design to oversee all aspects of the artistic journey and customer experience. Our creative role—stemming from architecture, interior design, furniture design, and landscape architecture—continues into branding, graphics, advertising, and website. We take the above design concepts of juxtaposition and counterpoint to drive our branding development: pop culture, traditional art, cultural and historical icons, modern typefaces, and so on.
