When the owners of the Dead Rabbit, an upscale Irish restaurant and bar in New York City, decided to open a second location in New Orleans, they asked NANO to design their new home in a nineteenth-century structure at the heart of the French Quarter.
Using Grasshopper as a parametric furniture modeling tool, I assisted with the research of ergonomics, designing, and drawings of a custom bench for the Dead Rabbit. The bench wraps around three walls of the second floor courtyard space and features a high-and-low wave design, accommodating comfortable seating at every inch of the bench.
