Nestled within the Diamond building, Bō Restaurant offers a strategic position by being both street-facing, and becoming an obvious destination at show exits.
From the entrance, a pathway links the street to the theater, creating a kitchen area and a convivial dining area on either side. The idea of the open bar was born from the desire to share the culinary experience with customers: we want to eat with eyes. About twenty people can sit there and all of them can observe the final assembly of the plates and the know-how of the mixologists. Around it, we found a variety of seating: curved banquettes, large group tables, counter height tables, and intimate tables for two.
Designed in a rounded way, the project embodies the curves of the "B" to express Bō’s brand and its Asian cuisine. The layouts, sublimated by the vaporous canopy, offer a "blind tiger" atmosphere where every seat makes you want to try it. The voiles come down along the glass walls of Le Diamant creating a screen of intimacy. The lighting atmosphere seeks to replicate a cloudy, almost mystical environment, with the custom lighting fixture surrounding the bar, pendant lights and ceiling projections.
Bō offers a sensorial venture into a hedonistic atmosphere that will take people out of their daily lives and transport them into an immersive experience.
