Spice and Barley Restaurant | Thailand
The brainchild of Enter Project Asia, Spice and Barley is what many would argue to be one of the most beautiful restaurants in
the world. Using 3D modelling, Enter Project Asia created large sculptures that weave through the restaurant like giant waves.
Spice and Barley specialises in imported craft beers from Belgium - and the fluid geometric shapes were inspired by foaming
beer as it hits the glass. Not only beautiful, the sculptures are also highly practical - gold in colour as a tribute to Thailand’s
temples, they cleverly hide beer pipes and air conditioning.
The structures are built using rattan as a nod to traditional Thai culture and for its excellent sustainability value. All the
furniture is local and handmade to complement the stunning colour palette .
Veronika Restaurant | USA
A stunning and elegant 150-seat
restaurant, Veronika is located
inside the Swedish photography
museum, Fotografiska, in New
York. Located on the second
floor of the museum, the
restaurant is decorated with
hand-painted murals, brass
chandeliers, a rescued stainedglass
window, blackened brass
arch doorways, oaked floors,
and custom-made lights.
Stephen Alesch and Robin
Standefer, the husband and wife
duo who led the project, wanted
to focus on a variety of interior
design styles and how those
styles progressed from the 19th
to mid-20th Century. One of the
cornerstones of Veronika is the
inability to put your finger on any
particular time period - you're
simply surrounded by historic
beauty.
