Accanto Interiors has unveiled the interior of TK Kitchen, a contemporary Pan Asian restaurant conceived as an immersive dining environment where craft, atmosphere and interaction shape the guest experience. Accanto Interiors was commissioned to design a space that would function not only as a restaurant but as a complete brand environment, combining a high end feel with a relaxed and welcoming character.

Accanto Interiors approached the project with the ambition of creating a setting that would feel transportive without relying on literal themes or cultural clichés. Drawing inspiration from across Asia, Accanto Interiors blended Japanese precision, Chinese richness and South East Asian warmth into a refined contemporary composition. Materiality, lighting and texture were carefully layered to slow the pace of the space and encourage guests to explore and linger.

A defining element of the design is the bespoke artwork developed by Accanto Interiors. Created from original hand sketches, the pattern combines birds, foliage and organic movement into a naturalistic composition. Dozens of colours were developed and tested to achieve the desired warmth and depth, with extensive sampling used to control ink density, fabric absorption and colour consistency. The result is a richly tactile series of wall and upholstery finishes exclusive to the restaurant.

Accanto Interiors extended this bespoke approach throughout the interior. Banquette seating, tables, wall panelling, bar detailing and decorative screens were all designed from scratch, custom manufactured and installed on site, ensuring a cohesive environment defined by craftsmanship.

The experience is further enhanced through subtle interactive details, including hidden table games embedded within bespoke table mats that guests can reveal by twisting or flipping them. Through this layered and carefully controlled design process, Accanto Interiors has created a restaurant interior that is immersive, memorable and deeply distinctive.
