Restaurant Design: The Salad Shop

Filed under: Restaurants — Tags: , , — Sahar @ 5:30 pm

The Concept

With a brief to reinstate the fact that salads can be hearty meals, the Asylum went about conceiving a fresh identity for a new hospitality project in Singapore.
Calling all “herbivores, carnivores, and everything else in-between”, The Salad Shop’s image definitely battles the notion that the meal of choice is only for the health-conscious or vegetarians alone. Thanks to the branding and interior design by Asylum, this Singapore local is becoming a hot spot for its quick meals AND fun industrial design.

10 Best of … Watches

Filed under: The 10 Best of... — Sahar @ 1:43 am

It is time for a “10 Best of”, and in this post I will be listing the watches. Dr. Patrick Chourgnoz is a world class time keeper and consultant to European railways which are known to “time the best”. Nathaniel Lande and Andrew Lande alongside Dr. Chourgnoz compiled this list of the best watchmakers, based on time precision, style, and grace.

1- Patek Philippe

Geneva, Switzerland

Patek Philippe  is a “complete” manufacture that not only sustains a unique level of vertical integration in movements but also produces its watch cases and other key exterior elements in-house. Thus, the quality specifications at Patek Philippe relate not merely to the movements but to the entire finished watch.

As of Spring 2009, all of the manufacture’s mechanical movements will  be embossed with the exclusive Patek Philippe Seal. This is the evolution of a philosophy of quality and independence that the workshops in Geneva have been systematically pursuing since the company was founded in 1839.

Restaurant Design : Saso | Kuwait

Filed under: Restaurants — Sahar @ 5:16 pm

Most people review a restaurant for its food, I know I have a weakness for Saso’s menu, but in this post I will be talking about its design. Saso is a Kuwaiti concept, and I really have to admit I am impressed with the talent Kuwaiti’s have when it comes to food ideas. Partners of MWG Group assigned Pro-design Group for the interior design, the landscaping, and the contracting works. The owners  specified they want high end finishing and design for this particular branch, in the Freezone area by the seaside.
