Inspired by the experience of a dinner party, the design follows the cadence of a multi-course meal. As a starter, visitors are greeted in an “anti-reception” area offering a playful taste of what lies ahead. The main dish is an open, collaborative kitchen for engagements with clients and partners, while a secluded “dessert” room is revealed as a fun and surprising finale. Subtle food-themed elements such as diner-style booths, checkerboard patterns, and scratch-and-sniff wallpaper provide playful nods to Relish’s brand identity.
