Specification

Dark Metal Framework and Open Kitchen Bar Counters

This hospitality interior utilizes a layered horizontal composition, where an upper dark metal grid frames the open kitchen and cocktail bar into a continuous architectural frieze. Warm linear under-counter lighting and focused task illumination create an intimate, sophisticated atmosphere that connects the open dining floor directly with the food preparation area.
