Stirring anticipation with the gold platted entrance, the neon red ‘Cherry’ sign lures one to be naturally inclined to grasp the rope railings as they descend the plush stairs into an unexpected space that embraces one in velvet – Cherry Restaurant, the latest addition to the Dream Hotel Downtown New York City.
This French-Japanese infused restaurant envelops the guest experience to a daring evening set by the theatrical and warm mood created by the fully draped and tufted velvet throughout the space pairing vignettes of seating opportunity.
Exploring past the boundaries of minimalistic approach to timeless design, classical influences are re-introduced through the various delicate fabric patterns and textures, still maintaining simple characteristics through the custom design of all the furniture pieces. The custom seating brings the intimacy to another level drawing the neighboring guests close to each other. The whimsical juxtaposition of the rich cloaked space with velvet and the nature of vibrant sushi yield a kinetic energy through the restaurant, while the subtle geisha images throughout the space compliment the energy, leaving the contrasted concept with a steady appetite to lounge a little longer.
