About the project
London-based B3 Designers worked on the concept, interiors, and branding design for Juan, a newly launched Latin-Asian fusion cuisine restaurant with an Omakase counter, located in Dubai’s Galleria Mall.
To come up with the new concept and its name, the B3 team carried out extensive research into the cuisines and the history of the communities. ‘Juan’ is both an Asian and a Latin American name (albeit pronounced differently), and the logo itself, designed in an elegant serif font, is written in the Latin, Japanese, and Arabic scripts.
The restaurant is designed to reflect the lively energy of these cultures. With a warm, inviting palette and interiors, Juan takes guests on a visual journey telling the stories of the creators of these cuisines. Seating 80 guests (both indoors and outdoors), the interiors are a modern interpretation of a coastal bodega, mixing Polynesian patterns with soft timber textures, woven colonial furniture, bodega bric-a-brac elements, and greenery.
The Omakase bar counter is a focal feature running along the length of the restaurant. Its unique trapezium extensions make for intimate dining islands. It is topped with a textured deep green marble and fronted by fluted tiles. Shelving units hold carefully sourced crockery, and the pendant lamps are suspended in clusters of three.
