Sumac Restaurant
Sector:Food & Beverage
Size: 1,200 SQ/FT
Location: Central, Hong Kong

The design of the restaurant area is centred around the qualities of ‘Sumac’, a vibrant crimson spice widely employed in the culinary traditions of the Arabic region.

We were inspired to bring a deep red hue and a unique texture to various materials utilized within the restaurant setting. With its distinctive appearance and rich cultural significance, this versatile spice enhances not only the flavours of traditional dishes but also the visual aesthetics of the restaurant’s decor and presentation. By harnessing the captivating qualities of sumac, the restaurant not only pays homage to the rich culinary heritage of the Lebanese region but also creates an immersive and visually captivating dining experience for its patrons.

To authentically recreate the captivating ambiance of a traditional Lebanese interior, we have meticulously fused fundamental Lebanese construction materials with elegant and contemporary finishes, resulting in a harmonious blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication.

 

In our pursuit of excellence, we employed natural materials that elevate the space to a realm of exquisite refinement, leaving a lasting impression on discerning patrons.

 

One of the key elements that exudes luxurious and cultural significance is the extensive use of white marble adorned with meticulously hand-chiselled Arabic patterns and embellished with mesmerising metal inlays. This painstaking craftsmanship pays homage to the rich heritage of Lebanese architecture and design but also adds a touch of grandeur.

We have curated a captivating focal point within the space by incorporating a wooden framed feature wall, meticulously crafted to showcase an exquisite display of mother-of-pearl artworks. These delicate masterpieces, meticulously handcrafted with precision and skill, emanate a sense of regal splendour and cultural significance.

 

The juxtaposition of the warm, earthy tones of the wood against the iridescent shimmer of the mother-of-pearl creates a captivating visual contrast, adding depth and character to the overall ambiance. Moreover, a key emphasis in the design lies on a specially crafted marble wall that draws inspiration from the architectural traditions of the Mediterranean. This prominent feature serves as the ideal backdrop for displaying the “Sumac” logo. The overall aesthetic is further enhanced by the inclusion of rustic yet contemporary wooden furniture.
