Thai-owned New York gourmet market concept Dean & DeLuca has opened its first new chef-led eatery design. Located in New York City’s hip Meatpacking District, Dean & DeLuca Stage aims to celebrate food as a “profound cultural and social experience”
“Stage embodies an interactive, contemporary notion of culture,” says architect Ole Scheeren. “The idea, with its reference to a theatrical setting, opens a wide spectrum of possibilities and interpretations of a space where people come together, where stories are being told, where performances take place, and where food merges with the notions of entertainment and culture. It is an innovative platform that can integrate and resonate with diverse local contexts throughout the world.”
