The affiliation of luxury brands with hospitality has been going on for a while now, and we haven’t seen any sign of it slowing down. And now, even fashion house Saint Laurent has gotten in on the game, but quite differently, through a highly personal interest of its creative director Anthony Vaccarello. The latter has been such a fan of Sushi Park, a cult sushi diner tucked away in an unassuming strip mall (indeed, how typically L.A.) in West Hollywood, that he convinced owner Peter Park to collaborate on a pop-up at home base Paris. Needless to say, the recently opened Sushi Park Paris is a tad different in terms of ambiance, and as such, unapologetically plush. An integral part of the recently renovated Saint Laurent flagship store at 213 rue St.-Honoré, indeed the former location of legendary concept store Colette, the ephemeral diner has a separate entrance in a side street. Intimate and infused with timber, the aesthetic is a modern take on a traditional Japanese izakaya executed with a discriminating eye for detail, and so much so, that Park’s ceramist friend Daeyong Kim was commissioned to design the crockery of Sushi Park Paris. The menu at Sushi Park Paris is all about omakase, leaving it up to the chef which delicacies you’re being served. © superfuture

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
