A bistro interior in reclaimed wood and aged brass, designed to hold a full evening service without losing its character.
Overview
A bistro interior in reclaimed wood and aged brass, designed to hold a full evening service without losing its character.
Café Noir's owner wanted a room that photographed well on opening night and still looked right eighteen months into daily service. We chose materials for how they'd age — reclaimed timber, waxed brass, a hand-finished plaster — rather than for how flawless they'd look on day one.
Kitchen sightlines, banquette spacing and acoustic treatment were all planned around a full house at peak service, not an empty room during the design walkthrough.

“They designed our apartment around how we actually live, not a showroom fantasy. Eighteen months on, nothing feels dated.”
“Every material in the restaurant was chosen for how it would age, not just how it photographed on day one.”
