Interior Design: Nella Vetrina
White Street, Chef Floyd Cardoz’s restaurant in Tribeca, opened in late 2014. Located in a 19th-century building, the interior decoration evokes the old New York glamour. The lighting design challenge was to re-adapt the existing lighting from a former restaurant, and incorporate new elements that seemed left from the old era. Warm lighting, spark and contrast, create the right mood for the fine dining experience. Who better than The New Yorker to describe it:
‘… It’s hard to think of a classier opening: ornate crystal chandeliers, velvet emerald drapes, black tufted-leather banquettes, and low lighting for a moody “Godfather” glow. What a glorious setting for the food of Floyd Cardoz, who was the chef at the beloved Danny Meyer-owned Indian restaurant Tabla for twelve years, and then, for a few years, at Meyer’s North End Grill. Now Cardoz, who amicably parted ways with Meyer, has joined forces with a group of investors that includes the “Nightline” host Dan Abrams and David Zinczenko, an author of life-style books such as “The Abs Diet for Women.” By Shauna Lyon, The New Yorker, November 17, 2014 Issue
