About ELSE
More than a restaurant
An alluring retreat where sophistication seamlessly
intertwines with thrill. This boutique haven transcends the
ordinary, bathed in the captivating hues of amber and noir.
ELSE boasts awe-inspiring architecture and bespoke
furnishings that resonate with the sinuous grace of the
ouroboros. ELSE extends an invitation to seekers of the
extraordinary, beckoning them into a realm of unparalleled
charm.
The Design
An intimate embrace
Taking a bold initiative, we crafted a closed and cozy
ambiance, transcending the confines of its elevated perch.
The arching ceiling became a vessel for elevated height,
introducing a tunnel effect that redefined spatial dynamics.
The use of polished copper, perforated panels, and
enveloping red velvet curtains synergized to create an
enriched atmosphere, harmonizing height, luxury, and
acoustics.
