Article source: Michael Fiebrich Design In designing a restaurant for celebrity Japanese chef Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa, Michael Fiebrich Design wanted to ensure that the interior design was as artful and thought provoking as the cuisine and ingredient combinations, without distracting from the food presentation.

Japanese garden designs are so visually pleasing because, even though they are meticulously planned, they feel absolutely natural and layered. The designers wanted to create this type of sophisticated “landscape” within the restaurant by layering the various elements of the interior.

Tall custom metal sculptures suggest reeds or water plants, which act as both semi-private screens and wonderful textural backdrops.

And, finally, walls and columns are clad in a dark stained timber in an origami-like construction to suggest boulders or stone embankments. The layering of these various elements creates very exciting “vistas” within the space.
