KOBO by Nai — Elevated Restaurant Build-Out in the East Village

A warm, modern dining environment crafted with natural textures, custom millwork, and thoughtful lighting to create an intimate culinary experience.

What We Delivered

A complete restaurant build-out featuring handcrafted oak installations, a sculptural bar, and refined material textures.

Handcrafted White Oak Overhead Installation

A floating sculptural element that anchors the bar with natural warmth.

Custom Pink Marble Bar Countertop

A standout feature blending elegance with a modern hospitality feel.

Extensive Oak Millwork & Ambient Lighting

Adding depth, sophistication, and a cohesive design language throughout.

How We Built It

This hospitality project required careful coordination across millwork, stone fabrication, and electrical lighting design. We sequenced each trade to preserve the subtle warmth of the materials while meeting the functional needs of an active restaurant. The result is a refined space that balances craft, comfort, and dining experience.
