The project has been designed by New York-based commercial and residential architectural design company, Schefer Design. Milan, Italy and San Francisco-based Johanna Grawunder has provided the interior lighting for the Robert. The two lightning installations include Cherry Blossom – a mobile-like chandelier installation of LED lit Lucite panels and Tangerines – a series of suspended orange Lucite boxes along the windowed perimeter.
The restaurant also features sculptural steel cocktail tables, host stands and a 15 feet communal table bisected by a six feet high ‘sound wave’ created for the space by London based architect Philip Michael Wolfson. Modernist master Vladimir Kagan has designed the Upholstered pieces for the Robert. A new video art piece entitled ‘Orbit 2’ created by artist Jennifer Steinkamp – her first work, will be displayed on a 103 inches plasma screen in the Robert restaurant.
