Adour is a restaurant and wine bar created by the legendary award-winning chef Alain Ducasse located at The St. Regis Hotel, New York. The design concept was to create an environment that was equally rich and complex as the tastes of wine. Such complexity is expressed through spatial and material layering, the use of a rich palette of materials, the display of wines and the integration of technology.
The intimate, four-seat wine bar is a golden-hued room comprised of a custom sculpted bronze base and a parchment goatskin bar top. A floor-to-ceiling installation of gold flecked glass spheres, hand blown by artist Ken Gangbar, are suspended on bronze cables and provide the room with a soft light.
The bar also features a state-of-the-art interactive wine menu. Developed by Rockwell Group in collaboration with Potion, the interactive wine menu is comprised of a computer and motion-sensitive projection system hidden in the ceiling directly above the bar top. The projection system beams a rosette-shaped icon on surface of the bar which opens up to the touch to display petals that provide information about the wine’s essentials including origin, varietals, producer, tasting hues and elements.
Inspired by a library reading room, the 72-seat main dining area is surrounded by the restaurant’s extensive collection of wine. The design plays on the old and the new: the existing architecture is covered in lavender leaf and sheathed in a backlit translucent seeded glass veil embedded with an abstract grapevine pattern by artist Casey Maher. In the center of the room, a custom plum-colored Murano chandelier by the Italian manufacturer Barovier is suspended above a champagne-hued illuminated glass table.
The back of the main dining area features three small private dining rooms – the Left Bank, Right Bank and River Room. The Left Bank and Right Bank are oval-shaped rooms with mirrored ceilings and fabric covered walls that seat 12 guests each. The two rooms are located at opposite corners and are joined by the River Room, a rectangular dining room. The three rooms are visually linked by a large five panel mural by artist Nancy Lorenz that depicts the AdourRiver in lustrous gold and lavender tones with inlaid mother of pearl detailing.
Located off to the side of the main dining room is the Private Vault Room, a private dining space that seats up to 12 guests. The room features an 11-foot-long dining table with a parchment goatskin tabletop. The dining table is shrouded by an installation of gold flecked glass spheres by artist Ken Gangbar.
