'meī - tū - nōs'
meī - tū - nōs'* is pop-up restaurant with the ultimate goal is to showcase the social role of dining together.
The experience is in 3 stages. For the first course the diners enter a small, dimly lit nook with a single seat. The space dark, and mysterious, and the dishes are very unusual. This is the SOLITARY dining experience: quiet, reflective and personal.
After the first course, the guests reunite with the partner they arrive with. This second stage is about the INTIMATE dining between two people who know each other well. It highlights the closeness and warmth this setup brings.
Finally, all 8 guests are invited to gather around a shared table in the centre of the space for a COMMUNAL dinner. It provides the opportunity to connect, laugh, bond, learn from and about one another. It shows how dining can be a unifying experience for all, and how spaces can facilitate that.

The requirement was to occupy a space with a maximum footprint of 30 square meters.


The space is wrapped in velvety curtains, concealing what is hidden behind them.

Each visitor is initially invited in their own cabin; then, for the second stage, a mirrored window drops down to connect you with your partner.

Finally, all the soft partitions are pulled back to open all the spaces to the central dining area.
