This design creates a circular passage allowing the customer to experience the space in multiple ways and interpretations. 

 In two formal elements the design shifts between architecture and sculpture, where a compact mass of surface layers unravel and fold to form the shelving display and seating.

Rouge Tomate offers a unique restaurant experience rooted in timeless interior design

 Built on the grounds of the old Copacabana nightclub in Manhattan, Rouge Tomate Restaurant brings a chic and modern sophistication to the dining experience.  The two-story, 15,000 square foot restaurant includes a bar/lounge upstairs and fine dining below.  Special features include private suites and a semiprivate dining area that look onto a pool, a central dining room with an open display kitchen, as well as glass artwork which descends from the first floor to the basement unifying the two floors.

Horton Lees Brogden developed a lighting plan to enhance the design and color woven throughout the restaurant, creating a sense of drama and contrast within the relaxed atmosphere. Sumptuous textures and sustainable design were part of the vision set forth by the design team led by Bentel & Bentel.
