DORSAY,
is a newly opened two story restaurant located at 320 West 46th Street in New
York City. It's design recalls the structures of early twentieth century train
stations like Gare Dorsay in Paris, or Milano Centrale, as well as the romance
associated with train travel in that period. The streamlined design is meant to
evoke 1930s art moderne compositions and also the art deco buildings that reside
in the surrounding theater district. Dorsay's luminous ceiling recalls the sky
lit train shed and its trusses evokes the graceful steel work that supported their
glass canopies. The end result is a design that views that past through a modernist
lens, where luminance, clarity of line and sensual curves set the tone. The space
maintains warmth through the use of lush materials, subdued colors and the controlled
use of decorative elements. |
