Yakinilo is the result of a series of failed preliminary projects in venues that, for one reason or another, never materialized. By the time Dorrego appeared, clients and designers had a few things clear. The project, commissioned by three Venezuelan partners with a successful track record in the culinary world, was to create a restaurant focused on yakitori, a type of Japanese skewer that would also be combined with sushi, soups, and other Japanese dishes. In addition to the food, the plan included a vinyl record tray to accompany the dinner. The challenge was to emulate those small Japanese bars with a central counter and an open kitchen while giving it a refined and unique style.
The main space, just 25 square meters, had a high ceiling, so it was decided to draw a horizontal line at eye level, using a light color below and a dark color above (inspired by the colors of the Venezuelan national soccer team). This line created a warm lighting plane that fosters a sense of intimacy between diners and cooks. The continuous petiribi wood bar is set at two heights and subtly hides the stainless steel service counters. A metal piece descends from the ceiling, mirroring the shape of the bar and providing necessary storage spaces.
The bathroom contrasts with the main space, featuring several mirrored surfaces and a blue light tube that crosses the space diagonally, complemented by posters with Japanese content. The street-facing facade presents a veil, with wooden Alicante curtains and noren curtains that add identity with printed kanji characters, reinforcing the intimate atmosphere Yakinilo aims to create. The decoration is completed with displayed records, sakes on specially designed metal shelves, and mirrors that enlarge the space and reflect the diners.
