In-keeping with certain aspects of industrial interior design, light fixtures were hung from the ceiling and elements such as ventilation were left visible. The concrete floor and lack of any non-functional wall decorations are also part of the motif.
To help make the room friendly and inviting warmth is infused into the interior with the help of wood table tops, chairs padded in light grey vinyl and bar stools with wood seats and backs as well as the yellow light from the low hanging fixtures. Navy-blue wall padding placed behind the wall bench is used to not only make the dining experience more comfortable but to also add a splash of color while still maintaining a minimalist design.
The combination of wood, textured walls behind the bar and blue padding combined with the concrete floor help to bring the various elements together and create a sophisticated and classy interior.
