SUSHI-TERIA RESTAURANT DESIGNED BY FORM-ULA
Sushi-teria is a 1000sq/ft sushi restaurant located in the atrium
space of the Citigroup Center that utilizes an innovative new ordering
technology that combines ios apps with bespoke made to order sushi. With
half the space allocated to a 14 person staff in the restaurant
operation, the strategy was to maximize the remaining space through a
set of surface textures that were seen to function as cultural
signifiers or triggers.
First by wrapping the floor in a hand tooled black kadappa stone,
then continuing up the walls with a mirrored polished stainless steel
that is backed with a pre painted aluminum. This then continues on to
the custom hung ceiling with a custom perforation pattern that wraps
wall and ceiling invoking atmospheric effect of both the fog in its
expanse of diminishing reflection of mirror as well as the fisherman’s
woven net looming from above. The final surface resides on the wall
behind the sushi chefs and is visually framed by the raked reclaimed
poplar.
