« De délicieux bowls, du bubble tea et un sentiment de vacances. » Tels sont les trois concepts qui définissent le restaurant jeune et décontracté Sesh Bowls, situé dans le centre commercial Glattzentrum à Zurich. Le restaurant utilise des ingrédients bio, frais et de saison, soigneusement mélangés dans des plats évocateurs du poke et servis dans de beaux bols faits à la main.
Le poke est une salade hawaïenne de poisson cru, servie en apéritif ou en plat principal. Il s’agit d’un plat sain très en vogue depuis son introduction il y a quelques années dans les restaurants tendance des pays occidentaux. Quant au bubble tea, il s’agit d’une boisson sucrée à base de thé aromatisé et mélangée à des fruits, des jus de fruits ou du lait, que l’on peut également servir glacée.
Tous ces éléments ont été pris en compte par Nader Interior lors de la création du restaurant, y compris ce « sentiment de vacances » synonyme de fraicheur et de sérénité que le restaurant offre à travers sa cuisine. Le studio y a ajouté des détails fantaisie, tels que des sièges balançoires pour certaines tables, des plantes en cascade depuis les hauts plafonds du restaurant et une peinture murale d’inspiration marine sur le mur du fond, en écho au comptoir du bar.
Selecting the right materials for an outdoor design is key to connecting the new design of the rest of the home and guarantee a nice flow between the spaces. The existing interior kitchen had a bit more depth with deeper colours on the kitchen island, so a calming tone needed to be selected to connect the two spaces in harmony.
Speaking about Cosentino product chosen for this project, a exclusive quartzite with anti-stain treatment, Ash said, “Sensa Platino allowed for the design of the outdoor kitchen in its expansive size, to feel quite calm and restful. It has a beautiful oceanic veining, with blues and green tones, and in some lights, it's a bit grey and dark as well, so it offers a lot of vibrancy. I think when we use natural stone, it’s a special material to use. It's more sophisticated than tiles, and it worked on the bigger span as well, almost eight meters long of backsplash. I chose Sensa Platino for the calmness of its colouring. It is quite moody whilst also being serene and it has such beautiful movement in it. The colour was a real specification for this project, because it did have to link back into the interior of the house.”
Describing the rest of the project, Ash continued, “The counters were poured concrete. We selected that because there were so many different forms that we wanted to do on the countertops, and we wanted it deep in one part shallower in another part, it had the little green egg, and there was a front bar on the front of it, so we were able to manipulate it much easier. There is a sink as well which just offered us a bit more than using natural stone or similar for this design, and this material didn't take away from the backsplash.”
Wilson went on to explain, “Having used Cosentino on other projects, I knew that it was perfect for the specification on this application and the colour choice available allowed us to deliver the desired look and feel. Technically it was ideal due to its inherent strength and allowed us to be creative with the fit-out elements being designed to carry it and outwork fit for purpose requirements.”
Finally, Ash mentioned, “As with any project, I think it’s so important for architects and designers to visit showrooms like the Cosentino Showroom in Dublin to view the full range and spec of the slabs before making a final decision!’
