I just have to bring up another great meal that I had in Chicago during NeoCon. Steelcase Canada took out a bunch of us designers to Japonais for dinner on the Monday night. RGO, my local Steelcase dealer had invited my collegue and I to the networking/appreciation evening. This restaurant design is spectacular and from what I have heard is often a good celeb stomping ground.
Japonais Terrace Chicago
We started the evening off on the terrace for drinks. This waterfront view looks onto the Chicago river which holds a deep routed history in the city.

Jeffrey Beers created this and other high profile spaces such as Tabu Las Vegas, the Hilton Tokyo and Ono restaurant New York. His spaces are creative with high drama and contrast and surprising elements and forms. he loves to play with lighting and texture. He talks about Glamor, wit and seduction when describing his memorable and enchanted spaces.

Yellow Goat Design Halo Vert LED fixture
I have been in love with Yellow Goat Design for quite some time and often used their produc timages in visioning sessions with clients as there designs really push the envelope and complement different design concepts. The design team at Yellow Goat works one on one with design firms to come up with original and sculptural pieces. The company has been around for over 10 years and is known internationally for their work with hotels, casinos, clubs, resorts, shopping centers and residences. I see them being a complete hit in the UAE.
Here are some of my favorite inspiration pieces from their site. Enjoy!
