Niju was conceived to complement the food and skills of Michelin star chef Endo Kazutoshi. Subtle colours and textures are not overbearing, instead becoming part of the theatre associated with Japanese cooking. Having already worked with Endo San on his successful Sumi Restaurant, Tibbatts Abel had a great understanding of his desire for simplicity in design, yet one that exudes immense character. The strength of this design is supplemented by the use of warm toned solid oak counters and feature pieces, backlit, cane-framed wall mirrors and ambient pendant lighting. The palette is soft but bold, and the materials have natural qualities, helping to create a visually and sensorily immersive restaurant experience.
