Koi Japanese Restaurant – France

#ATRetail

Addicted To Retail (ATR) presents: Vincent Coste inks Japanese restaurant in France with Yakuza tattoo motifs.

In Aix-en-Provence, a city in the South of France, Architect Vincent Coste has completed the interior design of a Japanese restaurant influenced by yakuza tattoos. Named Koï, the eatery is clad with large monochromatic illustrations that depict the Japanese fish of the same name. The graphics, designed by Claire Leina, envelop the floor, walls, and ceiling of specified areas of the restaurant. The theme is extended throughout the remainder of the scheme, and is even applied to branded crockery.

The renovation also involved the design of the furniture, with the inclusion of red chairs providing a bold splash of color. Made from engineered steel, the metallic seats complement the predominantly monochrome interiors, which feature pale timber flooring alongside concrete countertops, tables, and walls. A sheltered terrace at the rear of the restaurant allows for outdoor dining, while a burgundy version of the tattooed motif is also found within the restrooms.
