YODEZEEN, the internationally acclaimed architecture and design studio, has completed the design of MOI, a new restaurant on Wardour Street in London that blends the bold flavors of Mexican and Japanese cuisines within a space that reflects the energy and contrasts of both cultures. The design incorporates flowing, organic shapes, earthy materials, and a dynamic play of light, all harmonizing with Soho’s eclectic spirit. This new hotspot is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experiential journey that merges culinary artistry with concept-driven, meticulously detailed design.
At the heart of the design is a striking snake-shaped chandelier that commands attention from the street. This eye-catching piece serves as a visual focal point, while the open kitchen design brings the culinary process to the forefront, allowing guests to feel immersed in the action. Custom-made islands, where chefs prepare food, encourage interaction, while the bionic-inspired staircase, with its fluid, sculptural form, adds a layer of artistry to the space. Natural materials such as woven textures and earthy tones evoke the landscapes of Mexico, grounding the space in nature.
