Appreciation of Lighting Design Effect of KPOD Restaurant in Philadelphia

KPOD Restaurant is a Korean restaurant located in the University City of Philadelphia, which has a history of 20 years. The restaurant building is designed by Stokes Architecture+Design, and the lighting design is from L'Observatoire International, including bar, dining area, private room and other space lighting.

The architectural firm Stokes A+D set the tone of the restaurant as warm and bright. The biggest visual focus of the restaurant comes from the ceiling. The designer uses cost-effective plywood panels and custom felt flags with gradual earth tones. The arrangement of flags creates a undulating and three-dimensional effect above the diner's head. At the same time, the felt helps to absorb sound. Wood, felt and contrasting tiles make the whole space interesting and warm.

 

 The designer also uses many popular colors, including the mural designed and installed by the local mural artist David Guinn in the color block coating scheme, and the first split sign presented in this pink color with embedded aluminum slot lights, which is designed to make the space bright. The embedded downlight above the table serves as the key lighting to show the color of food.
