What\u00a0secret ingredient does it take to win a\u00a0Michelin Star and\u00a0the James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant Design?\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s restaurant\u00a0<\/span>In Situ surpassed the expectations of food and art critics alike<\/span>\u2014 winning the 2018 James Beard Best Restaurant Design Award, a Michelin Star, and acclaim as \u201cAmerica\u2019s most original new restaurant\u201d by The New York Times. <\/span>Aidlin Darling Design reveals\u00a0<\/span>a few of the elements and Creators that helped them create this artful design and dining experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aidlin Darling Design utilized the extensive creativity and talent of local Creators like Boyd Lighting<\/a> and Concreteworks<\/a> to design award-winning spaces. Their approach to the design process is collaborative. Thus, each project is client and site-specific; integrating the different perspectives and creations that, with their guidance, become a comprehensive and beautiful whole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur hope is, upon a first interaction with a space or a piece, a person can have a deeper sensory experience past the initial visual interest – feeling the warmth of the wood against the coolness of the metal elements, smelling leather or wood as one engages a piece \u2013 that embed in to the memory of one\u2019s experience\u201d — Aidlin Darling Design.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To create this space, the designers cleverly keep guests in the museum-mindset with their In Situ concept (Latin for \u201cin-context”). In Situ\u2019s chef, Corey Lee removes the food from its typical surroundings and complementary dishes. \u00a0On the menu, one side even displays a map of the world, pointing out the origins of each dish, hinting \u201cat the shift from a recipe\u2019s origin to its new situation at In Situ,\u201d according to one of the designers behind the concept, Andrea Lenardin Madden. So, just as the gallery’s contents evoke our emotions, the food and form create the feeling that each element is an extension of a visit to the MOMA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the many works featured in In-Situ are pieces by Creators: <\/span>Mattiazzi Italy<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Evan Shively and Arborica<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>BassamFellows<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Tucker Nichols<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Northwood Design Partners<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Manifesto Design<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Rosana Castrillo Diaz.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The San Francisco-based multidisciplinary firm seeks to uncover the inherent spirit of place in each project. They’ve won numerous awards ranging from Interior Design Magazine and Surface Magazine to the American Institute of Architects. In addition to In-Situ, they have featured works in various public spaces such as Modernism Gallery, Paso Robles Winery, and Bar Agricole as well as many more private residential works. <\/span><\/p>\n
