Onda introduces a dynamic spatial topography that enhances the dining experience through varied elevations, ensuring a discreet yet impactful presence of the bar.
The design features a series of rich, deep red leather sofas by Living Divani, forming a continuous seating arrangement that offers a comprehensive view of the dining space.
The platforms, covered in leathered Irish Green Stone, add a tactile richness to the environment, while the walls and volumes, constructed from warm cherry wood, provide a harmonious contrast.
This choice of materials creates a seamless blend of natural elements and bold aesthetics.
A luminous curtain backdrop behind the bar evokes a theatrical atmosphere, adding depth and intrigue.
The lighting strategy, meticulously crafted by Fabraca Studios, integrates illumination within fiberglass planters, casting a soft glow that enhances the bar platform and other key areas.
This thoughtful lighting design not only highlights the architectural features but also adds a natural layer of warmth and intimacy to the space.
The spatial arrangement ensures that each customer enjoys a unique perspective, with seating at different elevations creating a dynamic and engaging dining environment.
Onda’s design celebrates the interplay of light, material, and elevation, offering an immersive and inviting experience that is both playful and refined.
