AfroditiKrassa | 米其林星級廚師餐廳Lucky Cat-設計風向

米其林三星大廚Gordon Ramsay的Lucky Cat餐廳將於今年夏天在Mayfair開業，它已經成為倫敦餐飲界備受期待的新成員。

Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay Restaurants is set to open in Mayfair this summer and is already a hotly anticipated addition to London’s dining scene.

餐廳的概念從20世紀30年代的東京都市中汲取靈感，尤其是當時在日本隨處可見的Kissa。這些Kissas是地下俱樂部，提供食物，爵士音樂和美酒，曾經是一個繁榮的機構。Lucky Cat通過俏皮的參考反映了這個充滿活力的時代，並用一些酷炫的設計細節作為點綴。

AfroditiKrassa, known for its work on the likes of Dishoom and Curzon Cinemas, has unveiled that the concept will draw design inspiration from urban Tokyo in the 1930s, particularly the Kissa concepts found throughout Japan at the time. These Kissas were underground clubs that offered food, jazz music and great drinks, and were once a thriving institution. Lucky Cat reflects back to this vibrant era with playful references and nods to these urban-cool design details throughout.

在潛在的裝飾藝術影響下，布局的構思方式確保了餐廳中的每個桌子都有一個不錯的視角。廚師的桌子，位於場地的中心，客人可以選擇定製的手寫季節性菜單，同時品嚐觀看專業廚師團隊的備餐工作。同時，Raw Bar酒吧擁有豪華的環境，供應精致的壽司和生魚片。顧客還將有機會租用一間私人餐廳，提供三個活動空間和令人難忘的慶祝活動，室內設計與主餐廳空間相呼應，以暗靛藍色調、破舊的皮椅和溫暖的氛圍照明貫穿始終。

With an underlying art-deco influence, the layout has been conceived in a way that ensures every table in the house will offer an exciting perspective. Chef’s Tables, situated in the heart of the venue, allow guests to choose from a bespoke, handwritten, seasonal menu whilst savouring the theatre of watching the team of expert Chefs at work. Meanwhile, the Raw Bar offers a luxurious setting to enjoy exquisite sushi and sashimi. Customers will also be given the chance to hire out a private dining room, offering three spaces for events and memorable celebrations, with interiors that echo the main restaurant space, featuring shades of dark indigo, distressed leather chairs and warm, mood lighting throughout.

Uchiwa風扇天花板裝置和鑄銅竹酒吧的正麵等設計特色增強了場地的亞洲風情，而罕見的日本刀具展示將在客人進入座位時引起客人的興趣。精致弧形的黃銅屏風，古董鏡子，黑色竹鑲板和層疊亞麻屏風，這些元素在整個畫麵中營造出一種奢華的底色，而幾何圖案，日本靛藍染色麵料和仿舊皮革則增強了俏皮的氛圍。

Design features such as the Uchiwa fan ceiling installation and the cast brass bamboo bar front enhance the Asian flair of the venue, whilst rare Japanese knife displays will peak the interest of guests as they make their way to their seats. Intricately curved brass screens, antique mirrors, black bamboo panelling and layered linen screens are just a few of the elements which build a luxurious undertone throughout, whilst the geometric patterns, Japanese indigo dyed fabrics and distressed leather reinforce the playful ambience.

為了符合它的名字，整個空間加入很多貓的元素，像是貓浮雕瓷磚，石貓雕像和貓尾巴掛鉤等，還有酒吧區的Maneki Nejo貓牆，以及300個定製的手工陶瓷貓。

Living up to its name, there will be playful cat references throughout the venue, with the likes of subtle cat relief tiles, stone cat statues and cat tail hooks complimenting more dominant features, like the Maneki Nejo cat wall in the bar area, comprising of 300 bespoke, handmade ceramic cats.
