TabletopJournal has written about the creative talents at the Glass Studio before an they have worked their artistic talents again at the Intercontinental Hotel, The City in Doha, Qatar. “Strata” is the new dining venue at the hotel. The restaurant was launched in April this year, and immediately drew attention with its novel take on seafood dining, experimenting with molecular gastronomy and fusing the flavors from European and Asian cuisines. Restaurant is located on the 55th floor of the West Bay Tower and offers stunning panoramic views of the city.
The concept of the decor was developed over a six-month period, with careful attention to tableware designs, glassware, and overall table settings. Strata is the highest restaurant and lounge in Doha, where guests enjoy opulent Prunier seafood platters, Japanese inspired fusion sashimi and an extravagant mixture of modern chilled seafood textures, complemented by a wide selection of creative cocktails and stunning views over West Bay in a stylish setting. Glass Studio‘s designers worked closely with the restaurant’s F&B team on creating stylish tableware. Dinnerware designs for this restaurant included glassshow plates and bread and butter plates, caviar presentation plates, appetizer plates, wine buckets and table accessories such as napkin rings.
The design of show plates featured minimal round shape and metallic pearl color, evoking the color of sea shells. Show plates featured baroque floral design, which perfectly matched the pattern of the black and white mosaic floors and offered interesting contrast to the marble tabletops. The design that Glass Studio used for the bread and butter plates was based on round shape in white color with pearly finish. We used tattoo-like pattern in black color at the side of the plate, which matched the print of the restaurant’s logo. The same pattern was also used on the appetizer plates so as to carry on with the theme.
