INTRODUCTION
Dining experiences have come a long way from just serving food. The atmosphere, décor, and overall ambiance are crucial in creating a memorable customer experience. A restaurant’s interior can either make or break its reputation. That’s why Lignum, a custom millwork company, is dedicated to elevating dining experiences with custom interiors that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
THE CLIENT
Vesper Restaurant, once located within the Shelborne Hotel, was one such dining establishment that sought to elevate its interiors. With three distinct sections – a tropical lounge, fine indoor dining, and fine outdoor dining – the restaurant needed custom interiors that reflected its unique style and atmosphere.
THE CHALLENGE
Lignum’s challenge was creating custom millwork interiors that would complement the restaurant’s tropical and refined dining concept while providing functional spaces for the guests and staff. The main bar was to be the centerpiece of the restaurant and needed to be both practical and visually stunning.
OUR APPROACH
Lignum approached the project by first understanding the client’s vision and goals. The interiors were designed to be cohesive with the restaurant’s tropical and refined dining concept, using materials such as wall-to-wall slat paneling, built-in shelving, upholstered banquettes, and booths.
The main bar was given special attention, with a walnut wood slat bar facade, matching floor-to-ceiling slat paneling, decorative brass screens, and a bottle display. The custom lighting above the bar was designed and manufactured by Lignum to provide guests with a warm and inviting atmosphere.
RESULTS
The result was a stunning and functional restaurant interior that exceeded the client’s expectations. The main bar became the restaurant’s centerpiece and was a constant source of compliments from the guests. The custom interiors provided a warm and inviting atmosphere that contributed to the overall dining experience.
