Vessel Restaurant and Kiln Lounge
Vessel is a unique design concept for a restaurant and lounge space adjoined to a pottery studio. Combined, all three spaces come together to display various forms of pottery and art with a hand-made, well-loved feel.
Above: The main dining room in Vessel shares a wall with the adjoining pottery studio - creating the perfect place to dramatically back light and showcase artist’s works. Forms found in pottery tools are mimicked in the furniture.
Above: The display wall between the main dining area and the pottery studio is back lit through amber colored glass to produce a dramatic appearance.
Left: Vessel’s bar area provides additional casual seating with views into the Kiln Lounge.
Right: Kiln Lounge is an offshoot from Vessel’s bar. The lounge is tucked away into a private corner. A large, pottery kiln turned central fireplace is the main attraction in the space.
Above: Branded elements feature soft clay colors. Logo and Menu designs were developed to elevate the interior experience and make the concept whole.
