Design Approach

Carmine explores the design of a contemporary restaurant inspired by the intimacy and conviviality of European dining culture. Conceived as a place for long dinners and unhurried conversation, the interior balances an expressive material palette with a considered approach to comfort and atmosphere.

Deep burgundy upholstery, richly veined red stone and warm timber establish a distinctive visual identity. Soft, layered lighting brings depth and intimacy to the dining spaces, while curved banquettes, individual tables and a sculptural bar create a variety of settings within a cohesive interior.

The design considers dining as an experience shaped by more than food alone, where materiality, lighting and spatial relationships work together to create a sense of warmth, character and occasion.
