Warm, dimmed lighting sets the mood for a restaurant design inspired by the American turn-of-the-century social clubs. Likewise the lighting design approach, was to bring the guest to the old era. Spotting tables was avoided to give preference to softer dimmed lighting throughout.

Textured glass partitions create intimate areas throughout the space, while adding layers of luminescent planes. Recessed adjustable downlights with spot optics create sparkle on the partitions and early 20th century style glowing pendants provide general illumination and reinforce the layering of the spaces through the glass.
