From the kitchen · Art direction study
Same table stakes.
Different personalities.
A restaurant website should borrow its rhythm from the room, the menu, and the people behind it. These ten directions share no template—only an insistence that every detail belongs.
A note from the kitchen
Every restaurant and website shown here is an original concept redesign, created to demonstrate a direction—not client work or a real business.
