No need to fly into space, the Interstellar restaurant in Mexico City (located inside the Citibanamex center) invites you to dine under the stars while staying indoors. Inspired by the fascinating mysteries of space and the Nolan brothers’ 2014 sci-fi film “Interstellar,” the team of designers created a breathtaking space with inspiring decor where diners can enjoy an “out of this world” experience.
Over 250,000 LED lights are used delicately in the gaps of the restaurant space, scattered across the ceiling and along the walls. The light from the bulbs is made even more magical when placed against a black backdrop that stretches from ceiling to floor. The stark contrast creates an immersive experience that will make you feel like you are in a magical wonderland. This effect is amplified by the seating, with mirrored tabletops that duplicate and reflect the starry canopy to create the illusion of an endless array of stars.
In addition to the lighting, the designers continued the otherworldly theme at the entrance of Interstellar. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves feature texts that appear to float in mid-air, as if they, too, are floating in space.
Thanks to that, this 200 square meter restaurant will make diners feel like they are dining under the stars or in an extraterrestrial place.
Interstellar was designed as part of Millesime Mexico 2019, an annual food festival, thanks to the collaboration of three design firms: Almazán y Arquitectos Asociados, Concepto Taller de Arquitectura and Pin Studio.
