Wildtype Tasting Bar
Wildtype is building a better food system, starting with sushi-grade PNW salmon - no fishing or fish farming. Wildtype hired us to design a tasting bar experience for their flagship space, showcasing their product and process of how they are pioneering cellular agriculture.
Working with them to design and build out their new lab/FOH omakase bar. Our scope includes overall spatial and lighting design, EGD, and multiple murals. Working with the architect our team's scope is everything from concept to installation, which includes an adaptive light immersive bar experience. Material stories such as pendant lights and bar shelves were created from upcycled ocean plastics and murals showcased the brand’s history.

Our team worked with Wildtype to create a space that functioned as an omakase tasing bar to showcase their product.
-
The old space was a brewery with 80ft ceilings. We designed an interactive soffit, creating an intimate space that made you feel like you were transported to a small Japanese omakase bar.

To highlight their whimsical brand we created two large-scale murals. Each was created using their original brand identity sketches and designs with an ERL twist.

Fragmented Wave
Over the tasting bar, our concept brings an intimate underwater experience. The wave structure focuses on simplicity, sensitivity to the natural environment, and the use of natural materials found in traditional Japanese architecture. Within the structure DMX controlled lighting scenes adapt to the environment creating unique moods or scenes mimicking how the space is being used.
Material Story
We designed the adaptable shelving system using recycled ocean plastics. Pendant lights were also 3D printed using up-cycled ocean plastics, further telling the sustainable story of the Wildtype brand.
