Architectural Design / Interior Design
The vast space and distinctive materials -- stone, steel, brass, mirrors
-- reflects both the classic turn-of-the-century food market that
inspires the restaurant's cuisine and TriBeCa's history as an industrial
district dominated by warehouses, all infused with a sense of humor and
animation. With a distorted geometry, featuring unexpected contrasts in
black and white, 20-foot floor-to-ceiling windows and iron latticework
covering the ceiling and monumental columns, Bar Artisanal is theatrical
in scale and details. Moments of playfulness are carefully designed
throughout the space, like its back-lit rooftop illusion and floor to
ceiling mirrored walls in the dining room and bathrooms.
The space is divided into distinct areas for a variety of experiences.
It's a mix of modern and traditional, sophisticated and dramatic while
being warm and inviting. These include a relaxed, almost-decadent space
around a brass bar with a back lit iron curtain as a backdrop. A large
Jamón & Queso Bar where guests can enjoy a front-row view of the
striking earth-stone hearth. And the main dining area illuminated by the
glow of three grand and distinct, custom-made deconstructed
chandeliers. Project principals / Elle Kunnos de Voss and Albert Angel
