UK Restaurant & Bar Design Awards are on for another year (eagle-eyes amongst you would have notice that I already blogged about one of the entries earlier this week). While I’m not here to talk about these awards in general (you can do your own research and check out all the entries here), I just wanted to bring your attention to something interesting I spotted.

 

 

These two restaurants – Sur Mesure designed by Jouin Manku Studio (above) and Camélia designed by Jouin Manku Studio (below) are both located in Paris, both belong to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and both feature interesting 3D folding wall treatments in warm white colours. C’est très cool non?

 

 

So, is this some crazy coincidence or an emerging trend in Parisian restaurant design? Who knows. Perhaps I’ll check it out and report back to you when I head over there in September…

Ok, I just really wanted an excuse to boast about going to Paris later this year, hahaha! Oh relax, I’m kidding! But not really…

    I’m sure it’s meant to be petals but I can’t stop seeing teeth in the Camelia interior? It’s like you’re inside a mouth or something.

    I simply adore these panels/folds. Haven’t seen anything quite so refreshing in ages.
