Nolita, NY

The space design at Kimika is a reinterpretation of quiet luxury with a restrained approach: calming and transportive, nuanced and humble. A subdued palette with a sophisticated and calming sensibility. Minimal yet luxurious details complement an umami-rich menu. Capturing the characteristics of the restaurant’s home Nolita, a unique blend of contemporary and grunge, we wanted to introduce a sensual fluidity that sits within its raw concrete surrounds.

Inspired by the Itameshi concept - Italian-Japanese cuisine - Kimika looks to achieve harmony by marrying a bold palette and the simplicity of ingredients.
