Restaurant floral installation

Chotto Matte — florals built for a room that works every night

Restaurant work has a constraint no event has: the room has to open for service. The install happens between covers, the mechanics have to disappear from every seat in the house, and the piece has to look the same on night forty as it did on night one.

Public venue record: Chotto Matte's first U.S. location debuted at 1111 Lincoln Road in April 2018.

Brief

Give the dining room a signature look that photographs well from guest seats and the street, without adding a maintenance burden to the front-of-house team or interrupting service.

Build

Overhead floral work carried on our own suspended armature, weighted and rigged so nothing loads the ceiling finish, with sightlines checked from banquette height as well as standing. Premium faux carries the structure so colour holds for months, with fresh accents where guests are close enough to notice.

Result

A room that reads as a destination in guest photography and holds its look through a long run, refreshed on a schedule rather than rebuilt.

Scope of work

• Design developed from the room's lighting and sightlines
• Suspended armature fabrication and safe rigging
• Install scheduled around service, with no closed nights
• Optional scheduled refresh under an ongoing floral program
