Avroko
Food & Wine 06 June blurb
“Avroko: This New York City design team can make anything from an old library card catalog to a Formica counter seem modern and sexy. Here, as they prepare for the opening of their latest Manhattan restaurant project, Quality Meats, they discuss what inspires them.
What was Avroko’s first project?
The restaurant Public in Manhattan. We own it and we designed it; the chef is our partner Adam Farmerie’s brother, Brad. The design is inspired by old municipal buildings, with mechanied pulleys and walnut wood- a reference to the paneling in courthouses and police buildings of the ’30s and ’40s. A library section with an old card catalog stocks books from the ’40s and ’50s that promote “good living” concepts. Classic bronze post-office boxes hold wine bottles. Regulars who pay a $50 monthly fee get a key for their personal wine box.
What kind of lighting do you like?
We often use candles, since flames move and make a space come alive. As for lights for the home, we like Niche Modern’s collection.”
-Food & Wine, June 2006
We are very appreciative to have Avroko Design reference our handmade work as their top choice of lights to have in the home. Our Pharos pendants are pictured in the June 2006 article from Food & Wine Magazine.
