Meanwhile, black walnut furniture and flooring bring vintage warmth to the space.The lime plaster and beige square tile walls fade into the background as a neutral element.It has an open kitchenThe restaurant makes the most of its small, irregular footprint with platform dining spaces raised above the main floor. The multiple layers add both depth and perspective to the dining area.An open kitchen runs along the party wall, allowing guests to interact with and watch the bartenders and chefs in action, while more kitchen prep space is sequestered to a back-of-house room.Lantern pendants are mixed with bright, yellow-painted metal onesAbove the yellow-accented bar on a walnut-wrapped bulkhead, hangs an orange neon sign that reads "cng ng cng vui" the more, the merrier as a nod to the restaurant's Vietnamese roots and philosophy of dining together.The centre of the plan features a long, angled community table made from British Columbia fir. Paired with industrial-style stools, the table invites guests to socialize and share under the suspended Asian lanterns.Read: Ivy Studio installs colourful marble in Montreals Hayat restaurantLight sage green and bold yellow doors play off the pale blue in the floor, which wraps up the wall for a 180-degree patterned surrounding in the hallway and restrooms.Continuing the trend of combining muted tones with bold colours, a soft coral-coloured banquette runs opposite the bar, wrapping the back corner of the raised dining space, where a built-in planter provides an organic relief from the geometric interiors.Combining multiple types of seating with varying textures and specific accent colour is a signature of Mnard Dworkind restaurant interior work.The tile in the dining room continues on the walls in the restroom areasThe studio has completed multiple other Montreal dining spaces including a mirrored Italian restaurant with leafy planters, a retro coffee bar with teal booths and checkerboard flooring, a French restaurant with custom wine storage and an acoustic inlay ceiling design and a New York-style pizzeria with white pine and green wall treatments.The photography is by Alex Lesage.Project credits:Architecture: MRDKDesign team: Guillaume Menard, Fabrice DoutriauxContractor: Group ManovraCeramic floor tile: DaltileLighting: Herman Miller HumanhomeFurniture: Keca, JussaumeFabric: CTL leatherThe post Mnard Dworkind combines bold yellows with muted tones in Montreal restaurant appeared first on Dezeen.
