So, when was the last time you thought dining out was exciting? Exactly. Paris-based creative culinary studio WE ARE ONA has been throwing dinner parties on home turf and abroad, pulling discerning gourmets with a penchant for adventure and savoir-vivre to its doorstep. Launched by Luca Pronzato, originally a sommelier by trade, but also a free-spirited hospitality entrepreneur, the WE ARE ONA parties are pretty hard to pass by. WE ARE ONA has now returned to New York City, and for its latest edition, Pronzato is collaborating with Alexandre de Betak, a hailed set designer and fashion show producer, who created a minimalist dining setting high up in the soaring WSA Building, which is defined by a 100-ft.-long sculpture, comprising an elongated custom-designed table and a matching suspended light panel crafted from traditional office lights, which dominates the space and echoes the atmosphere and aesthetic of the city’s financial district. Additionally, guest chef Sho Miyashita from Paris, whose cooking is renowned for blending tradition and modernity, has been brought in to serve nothing but culinary delight. WE ARE ONA‘s pop-up restaurant serves a six-course lunch menu and an eight-course dinner menu (on through May 15). © 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.
