Building on the style of Lucky Cat’s original London location, Aria worked to maintain the spirit of the brand while adapting it to take a foothold in Miami’s prolific nightlife scene.
Inspired by the jazzy, late-night Kissas of 1940’s Tokyo, Lucky Cat is an exercise in understated opulence. It is a space defined by details, weaving together Japanese artistry and Asian-influenced elements of classic luxury, to create an immersive dining experience. Always aiming to complement the elevated character of the restaurant concept, the design plan was conceived to be the perfect stage on which Lucky Cat’s commitment to culinary craftsmanship could shine.
Delicately draped linens delineate the entry in a modern nod to traditional rice-paper shoji screens. Warm wood tones and natural textures give the walls and furnishings a timeless, enduring quality. Rich upholstery in deep jewel hues and chic, custom brass details weave a thread of subtle sophistication throughout the space, giving guests the sense they have entered a luxurious hideaway. Intricately designed light fixtures pair with Art Deco-style lanterns to give the bar and dining spaces a warm, diffused glow.
