Nami Nori, a Japanese restaurant in NYC’s West Village, has a laid-back but design-minded, Scandi-Japanese vibe. The interiors, by MN Design Professional Corporation, are light and bright, inspired by “both modern beach houses and traditional Japanese residences,” and counter dining dominates the 1,000-square-foot space.
Wall-to-wall storefront windows allow for ample natural light.
Delicate Japanese-inspired slatted screens are a design motif in the restaurant.
Rose copper accents add a warm, sparkling touch.
The design team stuck to a palette of “cream, sandy brown, and Champagne pink.”
The Japanese-focused beverage menu includes sake, Japanese White Peach and Muskmelon sodas, soba teas, and matcha lattes.
