As guests step inside, they are greeted by a striking mosaic of vibrant tiles that cover the floor. Each tile, with its distinctive color, forms a dynamic and engaging visual landscape.

The intricate patterns and bold hues are not merely decorative but serve as a visual anchor, guiding the flow and enhancing the spatial experience.

The ceiling is a remarkable feature, adorned with hand-painted bamboo rattan that beautifully emulates the vivid, colorful rainbow mountains of Peru.

This artistic treatment, combined with integrated LED lighting, produces a beautiful play of light and shadow. The light filtering through the bamboo creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, enhancing the overall mood of the space.

Colorful fabrics are strategically used throughout the venue, introducing layers of visual and tactile interest. Rich, vibrant upholstery and drapery in various textures and patterns complement the striking tilework and add a playful yet sophisticated layer to the design.

These fabrics enhance the spatial experience, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere that resonates with the eclectic spirit of Nikkei cuisine.

Adding a touch of natural elegance, lush greenery is interwoven throughout the space.
