Geek Kitchen Restaurant

Built

The collection is the decoration

The name sets the brief: a burger counter for people who collect. Instead of applying comic imagery as wallpaper, the collectibles do the decorating — shelves of boxed figures lit like a display case, positioned exactly where a bakery counter would go. A run of framed superhero panels above the booths reads as a gallery hang, spaced and lit the same way.

Red vinyl banquettes and black dome pendants keep the rest of the room quiet enough for the collection to carry the theme alone; the only text on the walls is one line, lettered like a plaque: "we only do geek."

A red banquette along a wall of five comic-style superhero artworks, black dome pendant lights above, a small Baby Groot figure on one of the tables.
Red booth seating and a row of red bar stools along a counter, a pink-striped wall with a comic "POP!" graphic and framed artwork above the bar.
The same red banquette and superhero mural row, lit at night by the black dome pendants, with wine bottles and glasses set on the tables.
