Oyamel
The expansion of the famed José Andrés restaurant Oyamel added 42 additional seats to the space, including 5 booths, 18 bar stools, a small lounge area, and a private dining space for large parties. The design is minimalist and clean, yet visually playful and showcases a hanging white butterfly installation, colorfully striped Amtrend sofas, bar tables made to look like tree stumps, and holographic video projections of Mexico City street scenes showing on the screen partitions separating the booths. A vibrant mural by General Design Co. anchors the expansion and features local model Julie Zeger and the unifying butterfly theme in vivid colors.
